Day 12

Read: 2 Nephi 4-7

Mark: 2 Nephi 4:15-16

“No father, no son, no mother, no daughter should get so busy that he or she does not have time to study the scriptures and the words of modern prophets. None of us should get so busy that we crowd out contemplation and praying.”
~President Spencer W. Kimball

What is it that brings a person to love the scriptures?

*I love reading the scriptures...that wasn't always the case.  I still struggle understanding Isaiah.  For the longest time the scriptures were something that I was supposed to do (I might have liked it if I had tried) not something I wanted or enjoyed doing.  While I was on my mission (sadly it took me that long) I FELL IN LOVE with the Book of Mormon.  I knew and still do that it is true.  I recently began to read the Book of Mormon with vigor.  I feel as though I had been starving and the only thing that would satisfy me was reading the scriptures.  Starting on February 25th 2010 I have read the Book of Mormon 3 times. I am reading it again for the 4th.  I have read every single day, sometimes for hours.  There have been days that I was only able to read one chapter, but I read.  I have been blessed, I am blessed. It is changing my life. I LOVE THE BOOK OF MORMON!
