The purpose of the Book of Mormon is to testify of Christ and bring souls to Him. Who can deny this who have read the book and pondered it's sacred import? My life has been blessed and I have come to know Christ through reading this holy book. I know that Christ lives and loves us. I know He is our Savior and Redeemer. I know that through His merits alone we are saved from an eternity of misery and woe. I know that He died for us. I know He lives for us, advocating our cause before the throne of the Almighty. He is the author and finisher of our faith. He is the Master, the Son of God, the great Jehovah. Blessed and praised be His Holy Name forever and ever! To Him be all glory, honor, and majesty to an eternal day! It is the atonement of Christ - His suffering and subsequent victory - that makes all of this possible. His grace is sufficient for all after all we can do. And make no mistake - we must do all in our power. But through Him and by Him we can and will overcome. I love H
This is a blog where I can put down some of my thoughts into the world to see what happens.

But personally, like Paul McCartney says - tomorrow may rain, so I'll follow the sun.
I think, though, that being content about one's situation is partly fear of what one might lose by risking great heights...of love or something else.
I'm thinking more of Dean Potter, who recently died while jumping in Yosemite. He was someone who clearly was accustomed to risk, and while knowing that there was risk out there, still chose to pursue a risky lifestyle. Contrasting that is someone who (perhaps like myself) chooses not to allow risk in one's life - for whatever reason. While I don't think I could follow the same kind of risky lifestyle as Dean Potter, I hope that when it comes to loving people I will always allow for the risk and take the chance.
Because I would rather love and run the risk of failing than not love and feel safe (if benighted).
Besides, I don't know if I could stop loving people. It's very much who I am.
