Book of Mormon 100 Day Challange

In our ward RS we are starting TODAY a Book of Mormon read in 100 days. (DO you do like those cute little candy bars I wrapped.. all 130 of them :) Join along and feel the power of the spirit grow in you too. The Book of Mormon is a powerful book. I have never done anything like this before so am genuinely looking forward to the challenge... after all is was my idea so I better do it, right?

Speaking of the Book of Mormon President Marion G. Romney said “It will hold us as close to the Spirit of the Lord as anything I know.” (In Conference Report, Apr. 1949, p. 36.)

Bella... Vampire or Not?

Ok.... I know I am a little slow, the rest of the world has read the series several times and I am about 50 pages from finishing book #1 Twilight but I am dieing... would some one please just tell me if she (Bella) becomes a vampire. Wouldn't that just make life easier? Besides, I believe in an eternal companion. For not being a BIG fiction reader I love this book, I admit I am a fan, what fun!

Finding Peace, Happiness and Joy

On the tails of my last dismal post I thought sence I am finished reading this awesome book I should take it off my sidebar and post my happy review. This is one of my favorite books. I just finished it and it has truly inspired me. Every now and then I will read a book that acts like a lens to my life and the world around me... this is one of those books! It RE-confirms everything I know to be true and as a result have been edified by the spirit. Elder Scott says over and over again that if a principle doesn't exactly pertain, then we need to share it with someone who it might. There were chapters where I thought... "oh this doesn't TOTALLY apply to me right now" but nonetheless he speaks of nothing but truths and even if in small ways you can apply these principles your life will be brighter and certianly filled iwth more PEACE HAPPINESS AND JOY. Here are a few of the lessons I had learned.
*** Write down personal revelation and inspiration WHEN THEY COME!!!
*** Share with others your testimony.
*** Trials and challenges ARE for your OWN good, they build your character. Start asking WHAT not WHY.
*** Our weaknesses keep us humble, use that for good
*** Heavenly Father answers prayers always and sometimes a little at a time... be patient.
*** There is SO much Peace, Happiness and Joy through strict obedience to Gods will.
I am so grateful I have had the opportunity to read this book and look forward to reading it again. I kow I have recommending this book to MANY people and even bought it for a couple, I'll be anxious to hear your thoughts and feelings also. So I am also on the quest for another great book, I am not big on fiction so if any of you have any ideas let me know.
