Reference made to conference talk about being ship shape and Bristol fashion and suggested that we need the peace of the temple in all times. Good or bad, like Bristol channel.
What I am speaking about is IMPORTANT.
Speaking about praying and the process or eork to get our will in line with the divine, and become more like our father on Heaven.
In your life you are never staying still, you are moving forward or backwards.
No matter how many times you read the book of Mormon, you will read something you never recognized before and it will strike you in a way that you need and is pertinent at the time.
Story of new born twin who was dying until she was put in the incubator with her sister who showed love by putting her arm around her sibling, then because of the love it is believed the baby began thriving. This is likened to us all and how we all need to be loved (thinking of a Morrissey song).
Spiritual twinkie, you can eat it all day, but not ever nourished....we can be fed but not nourished.
May be nourished by conference, church, seminary, fhe, etc.
Part of setting example includes actually loving the scriptures and feasting on them.
BoM has power to succor and heal, and we are promised to be immunized against things of the world.
"When I hear someone say that they know that the BoM is true I want to say, 'yeah? So what?'"
A person left church 25 years ago. Is now, returning, and expressed a desire to attend the temple.
Why do we pray? Helps us be aware and exercise faith. Exercising faith prepares us to grow a fine tree.
What would your life be like without the BoM?
Life has ups and downs, but Book of Mormon will give us the needed perspective and power to overcome anything that seeks to bring us down.
I always wonder how just the name of Christ is able to cast anything out... maybe I will uncover that mystery in the study of the Book of Mormon.
