Come Thou...

I am sitting here listening to MOTAB sing Come Thou Fount of Every Blessing. I think this has to be one of my favorites. I had occassion to sing this in the choir of the Highlands Ward in Lakeland and it was one of the songs I struggle to sing because I get choked up during it. "Prone to wander, Lord I feel it. Prone to leave the God I love. Here's my heart, oh take and seal it. Seal it for thy courts above." As the struggles of life are upon me daily I feel myself wander on occassion and I don't want to. I think it is that daily struggle, the battle we have with the natural man. Prone to leave the God I love is one of those things that I find makes me sad. I don't want to and yet I am weak and I struggle to be perfectly obedient each day. I am grateful that the Savior knows this and has taken upon him my imperfections and provides a way for me to be clean.

I went to the Worlwide Leadership Training with mom this morning. It was a great message regarding the new handbook in the church. There is much that I need to learn. I need to immerse myself in the handbook. It is powerful. It is doctrine.

Had a date tonight with Lisa. It went pretty well. She is quite a nice lady and we had a plesant conversation on a variety of topics.

Okay, I am falling asleep here so I am going to close. Sure love Natty, Jack and Andy. They are tremendous children.
