The Brethren

Last class period we discussed how the general authorities meet and the process in which they do so. Here are some details about it:
They...
1. Meet on Thursdays in the Temple
2. Start with a prayer
3. Have an agenda.
4. Open and honest
5. Express love and concern.
6. Close with a prayer.
7. Have a dessert.
Each of these details may seem meaningless but they do each have a purpose and they bring a sense of unity among the Brethren.  By choosing a specific time of day to meet they express that it is a sacred time. Also, by meeting in the temple they demonstrate the importance of their meeting. Prayer invites the Spirit into the meeting and gives them a chance to express gratitude. By having an agenda matters are more organized and they are prepared which signifies their desire to accomplish many things. The dessert is kind of silly but it can help form bonds between the Brethren.

One thought that I particular enjoyed from this lesson was this, "He (God) is more eager to give you inspiration than you are in receiving the inspiration." I know that this is completely true. I know that there is so much to learn if only I would be more determined then I could understand more of what God has in store for me and others. I know that the Brethren are inspired of God and through their meetings they become closer together and closer to God.
