In the few moments that I could tell the kids were actually listening to General Conference - I could tell that Benjamin was very moved by the sad story Pres. Monson told of the woman burying her four children.
Since I can remember going to conference with my mom and sucking on coffee flavored nips with her (yeah she has a wild streak) - I have loved to hear Pres. Monson tell stories. He just sucks you into the story line, his words weave a picture, then the Spirit of the message punches you right in the face.
I imagine its similar to hearing the Savior tell a parable.
Simple and amazing
Amazing in its simplicity
Oz has a great but very simply philosophy - that everybody had a heart, that everybody had a brain, that everybody had courage. These were the gifts that were given to people on this earth, and if you used them properly, you reached the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. And that pot of gold was a home. And a home isn't just a house or an abode..., Its people. People who love you and that you love. That's home. - Ray Bolger aka the Scarecrow
