#LightTheWorld: Jesus Read the Scriptures, and So Can You

Scriptures provide comfort, peace, and guidance in a confusing world, for they teach us of Jesus Christ and his mission.  Jesus taught from the scriptures.



 And he came to Nazareth, where he had been brought up: and, as his custom was, he went into the synagogue on the sabbath day, and stood up for to read.

 And there was delivered unto him the book of the prophet Esaias. And when he had opened the book, he found the place where it was written,
 The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised.
Luke 4:16–18

Today's #LightTheWorld topic is: Jesus Read The Scriptures, and So Can You.  We are so fortunate to be able to have easy access to scriptures. We can find books in hotel rooms, libraries, and in our own homes.  We can watch Bible videos:




We can even carry scriptures on our phones.  I love to read my scriptures on my phone, because I can easily highlight verses I particularly like, and can bookmark pages I want to return to.  I have the Bible on my phone, and also The Book of Mormon.  The Book of Mormon is another testament of Jesus Christ.  It does not replace the Bible, but serves as another witness of the divinity of Christ.  The Book of Mormon app is available for free.  If you'd like to download it, go to your app store and search for Book of Mormon. The app will look like the icon below:


The app is available in many different languages--including sign language!  

Daily scripture study is a habit that has brought great peace to my life.  Scriptures feed my spirit, just like food feeds my body.

Six Sentence Story: Twist

  An antique typewriter Each week, Denise at Girlie on the Edge blog posts a prompt word and invites bloggers to come up with a Six Sentence Story. It's a fun challenge for writers, and a delight for readers. Go over to her blog to read what others have written, and feel free to post your own story, too! This week's prompt: twist. ********************************* The kids who moved in next door were big kids--much older than her 3-year-old self--but they might be fun to play with, and as they were coming towards her, the idea of them being new friends seemed at least possible. She was rather shy, but she understood the basics of making friends, so when those neighbors crowded all around her and asked her what her name was, she didn't hesitate to answer.  She thought she had spoken loudly enough, but apparently her shyness got the best of her, because they didn't seem to have heard her.  "Twisty?" they asked, and recognizing she needed to be even louder, she ...

Ten Things of Thankful: Lovely Autumn

I've mentioned before, but it bears repeating, that I love fall.  This week I noticed the following:

Ten Things of Thankful: Valentine's Day is in Spring Edition

Despite what the groundhog predicted, here in my neck of the woods we have been enjoying balmy weather.  I think the nation needs a west coast groundhog to provide the local forecast.  I've spent time in my backyard this week, pruning palms and roses, pulling weeds, and planting raspberries and lilacs.  For those of you still buried in snow, I offer a hopeful glimpse of weather to come:
