Conference Weekend


I'm Mormon & just spent the weekend with friends listening to Conference. I enjoyed many of the talks - but one in particular made me laugh. It was the Young Women's President. She talked about hiking with her presidency. Then a picture of them hiking showed up - I laughed - thinking of them dragging a photographer with them on their "spiritual" hike. I'm bad and probably going to burn. But I don't like pre-staged stuff - it seems so fake to me. I know the message she was giving was good but it hit me funny. Especially the photo of the baby blessing - from above - I can picture the photographer following her around with a ladder to be able to take the best picture.

I'd like things to be less staged and more "real" but oh well. That's life.
