Before listing those, though, I just want to say how very thankful I was to have musically participated in General Conference this weekend. The songs and the accompanying lyrics the Choir sang were inspirational to me personally, and hopefully to many others around the world. I think my favorites this time around were "If the Way Be Full of Trial, Weary Not," "Take Time to Be Holy," and "I'll Follow Him in Faith." The "Weary Not" song was particularly helpful to me as one of my dear sisters has been going through some extremely difficult trials and I've been thinking about her a lot lately. The song gave me strength. The great thing about singing so many wonderful songs is that the people who listen to them can pick at least one that resonates with them and the various things going on in their lives. It kind of becomes "their song" as they gain strength, insights, and peace from it.
Here are a few of the lyrics from "my song":
If misfortunes overtake us, weary not;
Jesus never will forsake us, weary not.
He will leave us never, never;
From his love there’s naught can sever;
Glory to the Lamb forever, weary not.
Do not weary by the way, Whatever be thy lot;
There awaits a brighter day, To all, to all who weary not.
How easy it is to feel weary sometimes! But there are so many great reasons not to be.
That said, as promised, below are a sampling of tweets for your reading pleasure. Until next time, God be with you.

Hot take: The MoTab Trinity Knots signal a subtle doctrinal shift. #ldsconf
