This weekend I was working on a seminary lesson and found myself completely stumped. I am very willing to say that I am by no means a gospel scholar. I can't tell you where specific versus of scripture can be found, I have no idea who said most famous quotes, and when it comes to church history I am utterly lost. But I also believe that "by small and simple things" the Lord works miracles so I trust that with my meager knowledge and willing heart the Lord will continue to use me in building His kingdom. So as I was desperately looking for further light and knowledge on this lesson I began reading in Jesus the Christ about the Savior's atonement, resurrection, and time in the spirit world. As the Holy Ghost whispered to me of the love, humility, and mercy of our Savior I began to feel so utterly grateful for the words of apostles of the Lord and the easy access I have to them. I thought of the Book of Mormon prophets and the effort and sacrifice that it took to teach the people. I thought of the time it took to get information and messages and then I thought of how all I have to do is open a book or the web and I have access to millions of messages. How grateful I am to live in a time when the "veil over the earth is beginning to burst". How grateful I am to hear the voice of the Lord through prophets and apostles with so much ease.
