You are happier, more interested in serving others, and always striving to do what's right. I love it! Keep it up! The scriptures will continue to be the foundation for your life. If you keep it that way, you can't go wrong.<br />Love you!Crismon and Vivienne Lewishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15550158507936558367noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7816804486419554547.post-19316345396466012692011-05-16T17:42:14.719-06:002011-05-16T17:42:14.719-06:00I actually just recently started doing my scriptur...I actually just recently started doing my scripture study differently. My sister showed me this blog and I LOVE this idea! <br /><br />http://www.theredheadedhostess.com/?p=838<br /><br />It's really great and I have found that it makes my scripture study much more effective than before. Good luck!

Scripture study for me changes with the seasons of my life. I encourage you to continue to immerse yourself in the scriptures and the words of the prophets. In the future you may not have the luxury of such uninterrupted time. I have done lots of different things for my scripture studies and maybe I'll send you an email detailing them, but for right now this is what I am doing: I have a paper back copy of the Book of Mormon and a red pencil. Every time I read what the Lord does or says, I highlight it in red. My purpose is to focus on what the Lord DID for the people of old which helps build my faith of what He can and will do for me. Our stake president has challenged us to read the Book of Mormon in six months so I'm focusing solely on the Book of Mormon and I try to fill in the cracks of my day with Conference talks (usually listen to them while doing dishes). <br /><br />What a great journey you are on! It only gets better.

I like to read at night, after a long and chaotic day it gives me peace. I sleep better. Henry B. Eyring said, in a stake conference that I attendedin Corvallis, OR, "Read the scriptures till you feel the spirit." <br /><br />I have heard a lot of talk about how long you should read, a chapter? 10 minutes? I do try to read till feel the spirit, as that is what makes the biggest difference in my day. Sometimes that happens after one verse, but then I can't put the scriptures down!Corinne Ritzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13962324323573258852noreply@blogger.com
