Church Services This Week at Sullivan Hollow Second Ward Weber Heights Stake Ogden Utah 11-30-08

I was even more ill and not there this week at church.

From the Bulletin:
Matthew 11:28 "Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest."

The invitation to come unto Christ is extended to every person in every circumstance in life. Elder Jeffrey R. Holland of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles asked us to come unto Christ in a more personal way, "My desire today is for all of us...to have more straightforward personal experience with the Savior's example. Sometimes we seek heaven too obliquely, focusing on programs or history or the experience of others. Those are important but not as important as personal experience, true discipleship, and the strength that comes from experiencing first hand the majesty of His touch."

Those quiet moments where we experience the personal touch of the Savior on your life can make or break the spirit you carry for a very long time. In a world that is so loud, where our attention is demanded almost 24/7, taking fifteen or thirty minutes even to get in touch with the Savior with no other distractions, turn off the phone, go into a room away from TV, the internet, family responsibilities, even church responsibilities and just feel the love of the Savior penetrate your soul.

The Savior wants to know you as badly as you NEED to know Him. Take thirty minutes this week to let the love of the Savior touch your life in a very personal way.
