One of the things I enjoy about General Conference is studying the faces of my fellow congregants. I like to guess how they’re receiving “the word” from leaders of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
Some stare vacantly, others seem enraptured, and a few appear to have tasted something disagreeable. Most are just mildly expectant.
Unless there’s a floor show — dissenters standing up and shouting some agenda — there’s not much in the way of excitement. Perhaps it’s intentional. Nothing keeps things steady quite like business as usual.
And with few exceptions — it is business as usual.
