This morning I went to the Pasadena Ward for Church and then drove to USC and played my piano jury (probably my last one) and then accompanied Giorgi on his jury and then went back to Pasadena and observed Deanne rehearsing her choir (for my conducting class) and then sang in the choir in their performance before the First Presidency Christmas Devotional Broadcast and then recorded 8 vocal works for Caralee to help her prepare for her jury coming up and finally went home at 8:30 and ate chuck roast and spuds with steamed broccoli and Rhodes Texas Rolls and a couple Oreo cookies with red filling!

I am truly in awe of the leadership of the Church. We are so blessed to have righteous, inspired and up-to-date men as oracles of Christ with the power to lead us in the right direction. We can put our trust in them and be assured that they will never lead us astray. We should focus on the Brethren. I should focus on the Brethren, for their words are the words of the Lord, the words of peace and salvation.
"For unto you, the Twelve, and those, the First Presidency, who are appointed with you to be your counselors and your leaders, is the power of this priesthood given, for the last days and for the last time, in the which is the dispensation of the fulness of times." D&C 112:30
