We didn't go to church yesterday. A laundry issue. Oops! Having missed being spiritually fed, I tuned into the OWN channel where spiritual issues were featured. During commercials I flipped to the BYU channel. HUGE CONTRAST!

Oprah had two brilliant preachers on the shows that I watched. Too bad we couldn't hear half of what they had to say. It reminded me of when my children were little. Every time you thought you were latching on to a meaningful thought, it got interrupted!

The BYU channel featured an LDS conference from a previous year. The speakers at these conferences are not professional preachers, nor do they earn their living by serving in their church positions. They're just ordinary people, called to 'leave their nets', so to speak. There is little that is charismatic about them, and by comparison, their message may have seemed somber or dry. However, I appreciated that you could at least hear them through, if you were patient and had a mind to.

I love Oprah, and I appreciate what she's trying to do. However, on this one I think she needs to get out of the way and let her guests do the talking. They had a lot to say that was powerful! Instead of allowing that to shine through, she turned it into a three ring circus! That's my opinion. I think I'll make sure our laundry is done and attend my regular meetings next Sunday.
