Well, today being sunday, i thought i might make a slightly more spiritually oriented post. church was interesting today, since it was combined priesthood and relief society (which didnt affect me, since im not old enough to be part of that class). anyway, the lesson today in priesthood was really good, and was taught by drentz (for those of u who know him). he mostly taught about the book of mormon and spoke a little bit about the challenge to read it by the end of the year. we read several really cool scriptures and went through the story of Joseph in Egypt, as well as the story of the prophet Joseph of this dispensation. to sum up, it got me thinking about some of my favorite scriptures, and i thought itd be neat to see what everybody's favorite scripture, or scriptures, are. i guess since this is my post, i should start first (ahh the burdens of blogging...lol). i cant really pick a favorite scripture, because i have so many that i really really like. but one of my all time favorites is Alma 48:17, which talks about how if all men had been like moroni, then satan would no longer have power of the hearts of the children of men. this scripture has always been kind of a goal for me, that maybe someday, if i work at it enough, i can be like moroni. haha...however, if that scripture was written about me right now, it might go something like this:..."if all men had been like adam, then we'd be in trouble!" im just kidding around, but i really do like that scripture. anyway, i hope this blog isnt too serious of a post, but hopefully something interesting or at least something to think about...lol.

   that is a great scripture. i was reading a conference talk today and it talked about the stripling warriors and the scripture talking about their bravery was mentioned. off the top of my head, it goes something like bravery of their kind had never been seen, not among all the nephites. i was impressed, once again, with that story and its significanse to us today.
