"When the Spirit teaches prophets the truth of things as they really are, this includes sensitizing these special men to the implications of what is just beginning, implications that are imperceptible to others. Prophets are alerted to tiny trends that bode ill to mankind. Prophets, therefore, are the Lord's early-warning system: they both detect and decry at His direction. What may seem to be a premature expression of prophetic concern is actually the early discovery of a difficulty that will later plague the people."
Elder Neal A. Maxwell, Things As They Really Are (1980), pgs. 77, 78.
I am looking forward to General Conference! I have been making an effort to spiritually prepare and humbly open my heart to the counsel that will be given.
