I just spent some time trying to think of some insight I could pull from the scriptures we read tonight, but I was having trouble, and now I think I know why. As we read the scriptures, that was all I was doing - reading them. I wasn't thinking especially hard about them. I wasn't pondering them. I wasn't studying them. I was just converting written words into spoken words. I'll try not to make that mistake next time. Next time, instead of just reading the words, I'm going to follow the Lord's counsel to Oliver Cowdery in D&C 9:8 and "Study [them] out in [my] mind," so that I can better understand them (and hopefully gain some blogworthy insights from them).
