Wow, #500 post on Scripture Man!

This is the 500th post on Scripture Man.  To this point, a 4 year journey.  Hopefully you have seen a change in your desire to read scripture.  It began with a quote from Boyd K. Packer, to this historic point- Alma chapter 7 in the Book Of Mormon, 

19 For I perceive that ye are in the paths of righteousness; I perceive that ye are in the path which leads to the kingdom of God; yea, I perceive that ye are making his paths straight.

20 I perceive that it has been made known unto you, by the testimony of his word, that he cannot walk in crooked paths; neither doth he vary from that which he hath said; neither hath he a shadow of turning from the right to the left, or from that which is right to that which is wrong; therefore, his course is one eternal round.

C.S. Lewis astutely clarifies that for our premodern ancestors, the universe “had a built-in significance. And that in two senses; as having “significant form’ … and as a manifestation of the wisdom and goodness that created it.

Greater Hearing

My gratitude abounds when I hear messages that challenge the way I’m living and help me come closer to discovering light and truth and experiencing real joy. When we see those not of our faith doing good, why not rejoice and sing with gratitude to the heavens that in a world of so many dark influences, light and goodness are getting a greater hearing?

I see efforts with the involvement of Riverton FamilySearch Library coordinating Family History and the Hilltop Methodist Church. And studying the Bible with the monday study group at Juan Diego Catholic Church- at the end of each session praying for those in the community.
