As you all know, Justin needed stickers a couple of weeks ago. Why? you ask. Well, his mission president has challenged the missionaries to read the Book of Mormon from cover to cover. I don't know if there is a time limit, but nevertheless to read it and then to journal their feelings as they read it. He wanted the stickers to put on his journal to individualize it, I guess. I have never been good to stick to a reading schedule or do journaling about anything, but I decided to take his mission president's challenge. So I have started to read the Book of Mormon and to journal my feelings as I read it.
I have begun to read it many times, I have read the individual books many times, and I know the stories, so I decided to start with Ether since chronologically that book was written first. I have already been amazed by the faith of the brother of Jared, the crossing of the seas in the barges, the struggle of the leadership of the land to remain righteous, and at the evil that Satan can put into men's hearts. I am only to Ether 12.
Anyway, I have decided to extend this challenge to any of you who would like to take it. There is no pressure to read it, no reward other than the spiritual growth and blessings that will come from doing it. If you find something interesting that you read or have an epiphany about something in it, lets hear about it.
Also I have decided to do some favorite things posts. You know, like Oprah does only I won't be buying it for every one. Feel free to add your own favorite things too. My first favorite thing is the Multipurpose erasing pads. They are so great to remove black marks off of the walls and floors. Mr Clean makes one just for the bathroom. It took all of the black marks off of my tub upstairs and really cleaned the shower downstairs. I thought that I would never get them that clean ever again. You can use it on walls, floors, sinks (great on the kitchen sink, you know the black pan marks) shower doors, and on shoes and their scuff marks. They are great!
