Today in the 5th Sunday lesson we read a scripture from Nephi about how the people of Moses dies
from the fiery serpents because the way was too simple. And I thought about how it's so hard for me
to be consistent in my reading and praying. If it was something big and complicated, that would almost
be easier. But the easiness ends up being a stumbling block to me. And I worry about what to do to
be happy, and what to do to keep my family safe, and what to do to be better. But the answers are so
simple. Feast upon the word and pray always. That is the answer. And then I will know what to do and
then I can be led by the Holy Ghost. Every Sunday I commit to be better, to really do those things. And
I repent and commit again today. I'm grateful that I've started, and I pray that I will continue. Why do I
choose to hold myself back?
It was also striking to me today when Bishop said that Satan is trying to destroy my family, and trying
to destroy my children. It wasn't something new, but it did help me feel more committed. If there is
anything I want to fight to protect it would be those things. So I have to fight harder and not be lazy.
That's all there is to it!
