Be Happy.: I've had a bad week...

The Role of the Artist by M. Russell Nelson

Artists have the unique opportunity to present their opinions ideas and perspectives of eternity in visual and sound symbols universally understood. Great art touches the soul in unique and uncommon ways. Inspired art speaks in the language of eternity, teaching things to the heart that the eyes and the ears can never understand. God's purpose for the artist is to inspire, to give us visions of ourselves that we might not otherwise see, to make us better than we would have been.

We call upon those in the arts to expand their vision of what can be done. If we are going to fill the world with goodness and truth, then we must have artists that are worthy to receive inspiration, so we can bless the lives of our Heavenly Father's children. You must never compromise your standards for anyone or any reason. The power that you have to become great in your field is enhanced through faithful adherence to the teachings of the Lord Jesus Christ.

I've had a bad week...

But I think it is turning out to be a good thing, because I've been humbled to prepare me for conference. :)

I especially love fall conference because:

1. It's fall. My favorite season. :)
2. I get to make goals!
3. And with goals I get to make lists! (I have a listing obsession, I've already started my goals list. #4 is to clean off my desk)
4. My procrastination goes into hibernation and for once I actually get things done.

Hooray for conference!

And for those of you looking for a fun Saturday session we will be playing conference over the speakers at Pastorero Taco grill (I'm manager ;) for both sessions.
