For anyone still remaining, each General Conference, there seems to be at least one talk that knocks my socks off. There were two in October.
My number one message for the October Conference was by Elder Jeffrey R. Holland.

I love the power and force with which he proclaims his beliefs. In the past, our leaders have been somewhat sensitive about forcefully expressing our beliefs on the television. There was no holding back here.
Number two, for me, was given by Elder Richard G. Scott.

This one is a two-parter. The first part is regarding receiving guidance from the Spirit. It's clear and easy to understand.
The second part has to do with pornography. I fear for those who struggle with pornography. Elder Scott explains exactly why. Old, fat Bob, joker extraordinaire, takes pornography deadly seriously. I've seen too many men lose their family through addiction to this scourge.
You know I'm not a prude. I enjoy a photo or the actual physical presence of a beautiful women, clothed or unclothed. I'm not talking about that kind of thing. I'm talking about the filth that is so abundant on the Internet and readily available to anyone who wants it. Help your husband and your sons by not making it easy for them to play with this deadly infection. There is no reason for them to be locked away in their room or office while on their computer. If they're behind locked doors, they're doing something that might well ruin their lives.
Just a second while I get off my soapbox...
There you go, now I've got both feet back on the ground.
I hope you enjoy these two talks/articles as much as I do.
