     As you can tell I am tinkering with my template.  And I haven't posted a new blog for a while.  Life just gets too busy to do it every week.  
     I have a list of favorite books.  One of them is Jeffrey Holland's Trusting Jesus.  I was reading it again.  Not all of it.  But I came across a section I would like to quote."John Donne said once:  "We ask our daily bread, and God never says, 'You should have come yesterday'…)No, he says,)'Today if you will hear my voice, today I will hear yours'…If thous hast been benighted till now, wintered and frozen, clouded and eclipsed, damp and benumbed, smothered and stupefied, til now, God yet comes to thee, not as in the dawning of day…but as the sun at (full) noon, to banish all shadows.'  Elder Holland continues "My witness is that He will deliver all the rest of us, too, that He will deliver the entire human family, if we will but "Take of sacred things."  How easily we are distracted.  The Sabbath, prayers, etc, are all meant to help us stay focused on what matters most.  On from where help, strength and comfort will come.  To not forget He who loves us so extraordinarily unconditionally.   Just a few thoughts.  Have a great day.
