It's the middle of night while I'm writing this. I can't sleep and am thinking about a talk that I have been asked to give next Sunday. It is on preparing to meet God, how we do that, and why do it now. If you were going to sit through 12-15 minutes of me talking next Sunday, what might you find helpful, interesting, or insightful? What do you wish you were doing better, knew more specifically, want to recommit to, or just need encouragement to do? I often ask my Beehives why do we even care about all this stuff? My answer is always the same: so we can return to live with Heavenly Father; never loose sight of that goal. And by the way, it will be worth it!

i remember sitting in a sacrament meeting at my home ward a few years ago when Elder Scott spoke. He spoke about this topic a bit...he said he often gets people asking him lots of questions about the gospel. some we can find answers to, some we don't have the answers to. he said, very seriously, that as we prepare to meet God, we need to make sure we have done all the searching we can here on Earth. How embarassed we would be to get to heaven and ask a question that we could clearly find in the scriptures, etc., if we would only search and ponder. Also, he mentioned that there are many questions we don't have the answers to now...and we need not worry ourselves with those questions at this time. it was an interesting talk.
by all means, don't make this scripture, as i would hate to miscontrue something Elder Scott said as it goes through the grapevine, but you get the general idea.
