Scripture Study

So we had the missionaries over for dinner last night and before they left, they wanted to share a message with us.  They showed us a couple of the "Mormon Messages" videos from lds.org and this one about the Book of Mormon just hit me like a ton of bricks.  I loved it so much that I just felt like I needed to blog about it.  When I was in high school, and even in college while I was single, I was so diligent in reading my scriptures.  When I got married I started to slack off.  Even though our bishop, stake president, and even sealer in the temple encouraged us constantly to be having scripture study as a couple and individually, I have had a REALLY hard time with scripture study over the past 3 years.  Pretty much every night, Steve and I just read a few verses before bed.  I have read here and there on my own, but my personal study time is definitely not habitual like it should be.  I really haven't been getting that much out of my scripture study, and because I'm not getting that much out it, it is hard for me to LOVE reading my scriptures like I know that I should.  Elder Hymas, who is our area seventy here in Memphis, spoke in our ward last Sunday.  He spoke about his love for the scriptures and told us that he could teach for days just about the Book of Mormon.  I left church really wanting to develop a love for the Book of Mormon like he has.  Then when the missionaries shared this message with us and it hit me so strongly I just thought wow.  I need to get my butt in gear and start feasting on the words of Christ.  So from here on out, I'm going to STUDY my scriptures.  Not just read them.  I'm going to develop a love for the scriptures, so that I can truly testify that the Book of Mormon really is the greatest book on the earth:)
