Draw Near Unto Me...

Doctrine and Covenants 88:63 &67
63. Draw near unto me and I will draw near unto you; seek me diligently and ye shall find me; ask, and ye shall receive; knock, and it shall be opened unto you.
67. And if your eye be single to my glory, your whole bodies shall be filled with light, and there shall be no darkness in you; and that body which is filled with light comprehendeth all things.

Wow, we've gotten lazy. But we're back, and we're posting. At least I am. ;)

Anyway, the other night I was watching CSI with my mom right before bed. Usually, that show doesn't freak me out, but it was late and it was dark and my dad's been out of town, so when I finally went to bed, I was a little bit scared. I knew it was silly to be afraid, but I also knew how to get rid of the fear. So I pulled out my scriptures, turned on the light, and opened them up. This is one of the verses that I ended up reading. I've read this scripture a million times, but a little after 12 on a Wednesday night, when the world was dark, it hit me like no other. Isn't it amazing that all we have to do is ask? If we want to know the Lord badly enough, we will find him. If we want truth, all we have to do is ask.
When our eyes are single to His glory, we'll comprehend all things. It's amazing!
I didn't get up in the testimony meeting in seminary on Thursday, but that's ok. I know that this is true. The Book of Mormon, the Doctrine and Covenants. These two books are amazing. They're here for us. Let's use them as much as we can.
In the name of Jesus Christ, Amen.

Amen.

lol, At Mac's Halloween party junior year, we watched White Noise with the lights off and all that jazz. I got home about midnight, and even though White Noise really wasn't that bad, I was freaked out for the same reasons you were after CSI. So I read my patriarchal blessing. 8-) The beautiful thing is that it works every single time!

Oh, and you are officially my hero, Court. I'd given up on this blog because it looked like everyone else had, but I'm ready to give it another shot. :-D
