Midwest Mormon in the Mid-East

I had to work today, temp sub-ing. It may last 1-2 weeks. I had a good day, but really, I’m so out of shape and not used to working and getting up early and all that stuff. I did get my 10 pages of reading in without falling asleep and that was a quite a mighty task. Owl, my reporter daughter is flying back in the early morning; returning from Pakistan where she was reporting the earthquake. It will be interesting to hear the stories she will have to tell. I’ll be glad to have her home safe.

Tonight’s entry will be short and sweet since I’m dead tired and have to get ready for work tomorrow. In today’s reading is the very famous and oft quoted like by Alma: Alma 5: [14] And now behold, I ask of you, my brethren of the church, have ye spiritually been born of God? Have ye received his image in your countenances? Have ye experienced this mighty change in your hearts?


What is this change of heart? It is the companionship of the Holy Spirit that comes with baptism and stays with righteous living. It means never having to face our trials alone. It means being able to tap into the unlimited pool of Christ’s love when our little mud puddle of love has dried up. It means being a disciple of Christ.
