A beautiful, loving prayer by Sister Jean A. Stevens, the first woman to pray in General Conference in recorded history! Following wonderful, Jesus-full talks by George A Cardon and Henry B. Eyring, it was a wonderful cap to this morning's session, and balm upon my irritation over intolerance, "stolen" virtue and chastity, gender roles, and vacuuming.

One more shot of optimism
Regendered/Inclusive Doctrine & Covenants Section 4 (with gently modernized language)
Now behold, a marvelous work and a wonder is about to come forth among the children of women.
Therefore, O you that embark in the service of Goddess and God, see that you serve them with all your heart, might, mind, and strength, that you may stand blameless before God and Goddess at the last day.
Therefore, if you have desires to serve Goddess and God you are called to the work.
For behold the field is white already to harvest; and she that thrusts in her sickle with her might, the same lays up in store that she perishes not, but brings salvation to her soul;
And faith, hope,charity and love, with an eye single to the glory of God and Goddess, qualify her for the work.
Remember faith, virtue, knowledge, temperance, patience, sisterly kindness, godliness, chairty, humilty, diligence.
Ask, and ye shall receive; knock, and it shall be opened unto you. Amen.
