Scripture Power-How do they do it?

This is my first time posting anything on the Internet. I know it sounds pathetic, but I am kind of proud of myself so here goes....

I am like Jenny, I was trying to work with the Elders Quorum 30 day challenge of reading the whole Book of Mormon, but fell behind. But the distance runner in me isn't giving up yet, so in an effort to continue on the path of reading a lot more than I was.... I find it amazing how much more patient and calm I am than normal. I find in certain situations, I was happier and less frustrated or irritated and I remember thinking, usually I am frustrated by now at this spouse or child. The scriptures have so much power, how do they do it?

I am always amazed at the power and strength of the Lord and how it comes into our lives. I shouldn't be, but it is so inspiring!

I am falling in love again with all the people in the Book of Mormon as I follow their lives. I am putting the relationships together between all those who have a part in the book. I am sad for their trials and I am so happy for their successes, I want to cry and shout for joy. It is so neat to be so involved in the Book of Mormon and all the people who worked so hard for us. They believed in the book's ability to teach, preach and heal each of us who choose to let it.

I have always had a love "affair" with the scriptures, especially the Book of Mormon and I feel the joy of that love all over again!
Thanks Kim!
