It is now New Year's Eve, 2020. I don't think anyone will be sad to see this year go. Of course, I also don't think 2021 will be any better.
This past year we have been studying the Book of Mormon. It has been really difficult because I can't read about the Nephites and Jaredites without seeing America falling off the same cliffs. This year we will be studying the Doctrine and Covenants. I am looking forward to the spiritual impact these reading will have.
I began the day by watching Taylor and Tyler from Book of Mormon Central. Tyler told a story of a ward of chickens.
The Bishop was sad to see his ward members walking to and from Church every week. One Sunday, he decided to teach them to fly. After all, they are birds, aren't they? All of the chickens flew around the chapel and the Bishop was happy. After the closing prayer, all of the chickens left and walked home. The moral of the story is easy to see. It doesn't matter what we learn, if we don't make improvements in our lives as a result of what we have learned, then we really haven't learned anything.
