Scripture of the month

And moreover, I say unto you, that salvation doth not come by the law alone; and were it not for the atonement, which, God himself shall make for the sins and iniquities of his people, that they must unavoidably perish, notwithstanding the law of Moses.

Mosiah 13:28

Thought of the Month

"Think of it! when his body was taken from the cross and hastily placed in a borrowed tomb, he, the sinless son of God, had already taken upon him not only the sins and temptations of every human soul who will repent, but all of our sickness and grief and pain of every kind. He suffered these afflictions as we suffer them, according to the flesh. He suffered them all. He did this to perfect his mercy and his ability to lift us above every earthly trial."

scoutisms

I'm the new Webelos den mother of a combined ward scouting program. I only have one Webelo right now, but I do really enjoy it.

I had to share what we talked about today. We were doing the Faith part to get his Webelos badge and here is what he said..
"Faith is like a mouse with a big hunk of cheese. He can't eat it all at once because he'll barf, so he can only take little pieces at a time. Eventually, over time, all the cheese will be gone."
I just thought that was the cutest way to explain Faith. Because we really don't get it all at once. We develop it over time through our own personal experiences. Just like a mouse with a big hunk of cheese.
