This was the spiritual thought given this morning in the prayer meeting before seminary. It's out of one of those scripture and thought for a day kind of books, but it hit me so strongly with what they were saying - so here it is repeated for all of cyber space to ponder over as well:

"As I stated...that I would write to you from time to time and give you information in relation to many subjects, I now resume the subject of the baptism for the dead, as that subject seems to occupy my mind, and press itself up0n my feelings." D&C 128:1

"The Lord uses a myriad of ways to reveal himself to his children. He who is omnipotent and omniscient is hardly limited in how he speaks or makes known his mind and will. As recorded in D&C 8:2-3, the Spirit can reveal things to our mind (in the form of thoughts) and to our heart (in the form of feelings), and these two can serve as a kind of balance for one another. The revelations of God are almost always what we would call rational. It is impressive to note that someone as seasoned and experienced in the things of the Spirit as the Prophet of the Restoration should identify as revelation that which God had caused to occupy his mind and press upon his feelings. It is a great lesson to those who aspire to perfect communion with the heavens: We will never outgrow the simple and straightforward manifestations of the Holy Ghost."

I can never explain things this well and sucinctly. I would have made an hour lesson out of it, and here it is in one small paragraphed summed up so nicely. I would like to develop that talent....
