Day two, another good day.

Grace and peace to you my friends,

Well another great day at the conference has come and gone. Today was a good day, I did more walking than my body would have liked. However the eternal significance of the messages heard today far outweighs the temporary discomfort. My head is just spinning right now with the myriad of ideas and amazing revelations that have come about so far. I'm not going try and say much again for fear it may sound as though my brain threw up on the page so I'll just grab two small thoughts from my notes and finish by sharing those.

1. Laws can modify outward behavior but only the Spirit can modify the inward character.
2. My role as the Shepard, leader of the home, is not merely to make my family conform to the standard. Rather my role is to teach them to love the standard.

Granted these aren't rocket science, just pieces to a much larger puzzle. However since it looks as though my notes were professionally organized by a blind chimp these seemed to make the most sense singularly than the others might have.
There is a theme forming in my mind as to what the personal application of this conference is going to be. That's to work towards making my life and home more Gospel-centered. Perhaps some day I'll write more on what that will look like. For now though it's time for me to try and slow my mind down for the night or I won't get any sleep.
Thank you to those of you who have been praying, for me here and for Sharm at home without me.

For the Joy of Your Faith,
Teagan
