Scripture Blog

This weblog is my personal online scripture journal. I try to read the scriptures each morning as I exercise on my cross-trainer. It has a great impact on my life and my testimony of the Savior and his restored church. The journal is really for my own benefit but I have set it up as a web log in hopes to benefit anyone else that may be interested. "For he that diligently seeketh shall find; and the mysteries of God shall be unfolded unto them, by the power of the Holy Ghost..." 1 Nephi 10:19

Alma 38

 As I read these words of Alma to his son, Shiblon, I tend to picture him laying his hands on Shiblon's head and giving a patriarchal blessing.  I thing one of the most profound counsels he gives is - 

...see that ye bridle all your passions, that ye may be filled with love..."   (Alma 38:12)

In my mind, receiving the love of God, love for God, and love for his neighbors.
