A Plus B Equals C

I had a wonderful morning working on taping up windows in preparation to paint them for use in The Little Brick House as our menu board.  While I measured, cut and taped on paper I listened to a few conference talks from last October.  It is good to listen to inspired words from our church leaders.  I appreciate the guidance and direction received through them.  I shared one of the talks in our FHE tonight:  I Know It, I Live It, I Love It.  Natty said that was one of her favorite talks and so we listened and learned.  We talked about a few things  and it was a good conversation.  My friend Jason Murray had shared some thoughts on that talk yesterday in Church.  It was part of our lesson in Elder's Quorum and he compared it to math.  A + B = C  or I Know It + I Live It = I Love It.   We can know the gospel is true and not live it or we can live the gospel without really knowing it.  In either case we don't fully appreciate or love the gospel.  When we know that it is true and we live it to the best of our abilities then we begin to love it, to understand it more fully, to receive a full measure of joy.   Let me close by saying I'm a Mormon.  I know it, I live it, I love it.
