By Ryan Holmes. Good stuff. High Council topic was the Holy Ghost



Some pieces:

“And by the power of the Holy Ghost ye may know the truth of all things.” Not just spiritual things but also education, family relations. All things.



“You students here at BYU should become the smartest engineers in the world. Not only do you have the best professors, but you have the gift of the Holy Ghost to help you learn truth.”



“When we deal in generalities, we rarely have success; but when we deal in specifics, we rarely have a failure"



When we are doing our best to keep the commandments, then our first thoughts and first impressions are often the inspired ones.



Information Glut We are being conditioned to react in a certain way to digital stimulus, and this rewiring of our brains is not without consequence. We are developing a form of societal attention deficit disorder. A recent study revealed that the average person checks their phone 150 times per day, or every six and a half minutes.24 Some sociologists are just now beginning to examine the potential consequences of this behavior.

+1 I agree wholeheartedly about the "information glut." It is overwhelming. It's a herculean task at work to keep up with the mountain of emails that flow in a single day - and still get work done. It doesn't end though. It's like a never ending snowball.
