The day's two sessions featured several recurring themes — several Easter-time messages and calls to turn to the temple — and President Monson's morning-meeting assurance for members to have faith and not fear.
However, the church president strongly cautioned in his afternoon address for Latter-day Saints to avoid the adversary's destructive means — such as evil uses of the Internet, particularly pornography.
"My brothers and sisters, involvement in such will literally destroy the spirit," he said. "Be strong. Be clean. Avoid such degrading and destructive types of content at all costs — wherever they may be. I sound this warning to everyone, everywhere. I add — particularly to the young people — that this includes pornographic images transmitted via cell phones."
This is where I share RANDOM rants and ruminations, beliefs, lists, dreams, goals, frustrations, bargains, and social injustices (EVAGATION, n. the act of wandering; excursion; a roving or rambling). More about me than you wanted to know. You may not agree with me but I hope you share my belief that what makes America great is freedom to have and express differing views. Enjoy peeking into my public journal if you want to know that part of me I share here. Enjoy!
