This is one of my most favorite hymns by the Mormon Tabernacle Choir. It was such a comfort to me as, last week, I went through a six day hospital stay for cancer surgery. It is so amazing what you can go through with God with you! "Here's my heart, Lord, oh take and seal it, seal it for the courts above!" God's Grace is ALL I ever need.
Come, thou Fount of every blessing,
tune my heart to sing thy grace;
streams of mercy, never ceasing,
call for songs of loudest praise.
Teach me some melodious sonnet,
sung by flaming tongues above.
Praise the mount!
I'm fixed upon it,
mount of thy redeeming love. Here I raise mine Ebenezer;
hither by thy help I'm come;
and I hope, by thy good pleasure,
safely to arrive at home. Jesus sought me when a stranger,
wandering from the fold of God;
he, to rescue me from danger,
interposed his precious blood. O to grace how great a debtor
daily I'm constrained to be!
Let thy goodness, like a fetter,
bind my wandering heart to thee. Prone to wander, Lord, I feel it,
prone to leave the God I love;
here's my heart,
O take and seal it,
seal it for thy courts above. http://dayofpraise.blogspot.com/

We've all heard and seen the recent media circus concerning the Texas Raid on the FLDS 'Polygamy Cult' at their YFZ Ranch Compound in Eldorado, Texas. Now, the media circus has moved to a courthouse in San Antonio, Texas, where over 1000 participants have assembled to try and work out this situation "for the best interests of the children." This national travesty continues following the State of Texas' unprecedented, unconstitutional action of removing 416 innocent children from their homes.

I'm reading this great little book by one of my favorite authors, Elder Neal A. Maxwell, "Moving in His Majestry and Power". It was written in 2004, the manuscript finished just 10 days before his death. There are ten chapters of deep reflection on various subjects. I just finished the chapter entitled, "Conversion" and it has many wonderful insights. I recall a Church leader, maybe President Hinckley, saying a big concern of the Church should be "retention, retention, retention". In other words, those who choose to join the Church should be retained in the Church. It seems many converts join, but never become active and soon drift away.
Maybe the problem is true conversion. In his chapter, "Conversion", Neal A. Maxwell looks at what true conversion actually is.
Here are some quotes from "Conversion".... Click Here

We can prepare ourselves through the Gift of Prayer for this weekend's General Conference blessings and for the blessings of today! Click link to read article: Day of Praise blog
