1 Nephi 1-4

Posted On: 08/25/2005 16:09:43

Well I read 1 Nephi 1-4 this morning. I really want to keep up to date and finish The Book of Mormon by the end of the year. I'm not sure exactly why, but President Hinckley's challenge really hit me hard. I guess I'll find out someday why it is so important to reread The Book of Mormon by the end of the year. Even I never do find out why, it doesn't matter. I know that I love the Lord enough to do what ever he asks, and that's good enough for me.

Elder Eyring spoke at my parent's Stake Conference. He said that President Hinckley has also stressed to the 12 that they needed to read The Book of Mormon by the end of the year. Elder Eyring said something to the point of, "President Hinckley didn't tell us why. He just said that he knows that we need to do it. Some people have said, 'Well that's what President Benson told us to do.' The Lord has told us twice through two Prophets that we need to read The Book of Mormon. I don't know what President Hinckley has seen in the future, but he knows that he has seen hard times, and he sees The Book of Mormon as a way to help us in the future."

Four down, 235 chapters to go!

My goal is to read every book by the end of the year. I started with the bible and working my way through it. I am finding that through reading the scriptures that I sleep better at night as well as do better at my job. I was lying on the couch and for some reason the LDS Chat came to mind. This is going to be good for me to read what you guys are going through and share your testimony. Thank you

I just can't believe how we were in the crowded theatre and all of a sudden the whole theatre erupted in the most raucous laughter. The movie was so cheesy. I did 4 years of Seminary and thought I had seen the cheesiest of cheesy church movies. Yeah not so much. I know the people who made BoM movie had their heart in the right place but that movie could have been so much better. IE don't start the movie off with Nephi playing at basketball with some kids in ancient Jerusalem. Everyone knows Nephi was a flag football man.

My bishop has been doing a STOMP challenge for the past two years, and by the time President Hinckley made his challenge we were already into the BOM for about a month. My wife and I were behind a little, though, because the bishop's challenge was to do it in 100 days, but now we're ahead of the people who only started with President Hinckley's challenge.

And to those who don't know, STOMP stands for saints trying out Moroni's promise, and even though my wife and I both already know the BOM is true, we still get something more out of it each time we read it.

And btw, we both watched the BOM movie too, and although we could have contributed to making it better, we still enjoy watching it from time to time. And if you haven't seen 'The Work and the Glory' yet, it's a whole lot better.
