So I don't forget..

I just got home from Stake Conference and I have a lot of things running through my mind. I just wanted to write a few of them down.

Two quotes I want to remember:
"Are we living lives of Christianity or Churchianity?"
"Christian soldiers are not just weekend warriors".

There was a talk about the Atonement of Christ. The statement was made that we can not comprehend the infinite nature of it. The thought that came to my mind was the personal nature of it. I don't claim to understand how Christ did it, or how far reaching it really is. But, I understand the part of it that personally applies to me. I understand that through his love for me I can be forgiven and I can be made whole. I know that he loves everyone else as much as he loves me, so I know that they have a personal stake in the atonement also.

Another statement that touched me was that our offering to the Lord may be as a little child bringing a dandelion. He only asks for our best. All of us fall short, but his love will make up the difference.

I am grateful to have the opportunity to be taught by good leaders and most importantly by the Holy Ghost.
