    Talking in Church--what should I talk about?

    I will be talking in church soon and I have been given the choice of any General Conference talk as the foundation for the talk. I can pick any one that I want--so which talk (Saturday, Sunday or Priesthood sessions) should I give and why should I give that talk? Gimme your suggestions and sell it!!

      The choice is clear: Sister Dibbs.
      Part of it is based on academic grounds. Among major conferences, the Pac-10 is the best academically, largely because of Stanford, Cal and UCLA. “Colorado is on a par with Oregon,” he said. “Utah isn’t even in the picture.”

        What else can you talk about but your awesomeness?
        If we disagree on something, it's because you're wrong.

          Sorry, I just realized that was probably a poor way to word that.

            Any of the first presidency talks from the Priesthood Session.

            Well, because he thought it was good sport. Because some men aren't looking for anything logical, like money. They can't be bought, bullied, reasoned, or negotiated with. Some men just want to watch the world burn.

              I was going to abstain from your little pity popularity poll until this filthy slip. As a grown man of integrity, I feel obliged to 'not like you.' You have brought this on yourself.

                No, Robin! Not you too!

                There is some good that can come from this. "As a grown man of integrity, I feel obliged to 'not like you.' You have brought this on yourself." would make a great signature for you.

                  Trust me, I have about 5 minutes of that in this talk...but I should bring some other stuff in to it, at least for a few minutes.

                    I really like President Monson's talk about service.

                      Is the talk before or after the special musical number? That would tell us a lot about what your bishop thinks of you.

                        After. In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if I was speaking after the Bishop and the Stake President. Yeah, I am a pretty big deal.

                          You're probably pretty new batting cleanup. I'm pretty used to it so I'll share a tip. Remember to thank the individual who played the piano or sang the song. That's a biggie.

                            I like to one-up the musical number by singing a song from the pulpit. In our Lovely Deseret usually goes over swell.

                              Also, remember that if the performance is swell, say something to the effect of, "Wow, I really don't know how can follow that."

                              If it is bad like 80%+ of musical performances in sacrament meeting, go with the standard, "Thanks for that nice music."
