While perusing on http://www.lds.org/ like I do every day, today I again noticed the invitation to create a profile at http://mormon.org/ I checked it out-- really neat site and the whole profile thing. Tons of LDS folks get to post their thoughts and testimony of the Church. I read a few profiles and it was very interesting to see all the different experiences (and insights) brothers and sisters all over the world have with the Restored Gospel. I even found something funny in one of the profiles, a pretty cool parallel between our cell phones and scriptures.
THE CELLPHONE VS THE SCRIPTURES
I wonder what would happen if we treated our scriptures like we treat our cell phones? What if we carried it around in our purses or pockets?
What if we turned back to go get it if we forgot it?
What if we flipped through it several times a day?
What if we spent an hour or more using it every day?
What if we used it to receive messages?
What if we treated it like we couldn't live without it?
What if we gave it to other kids as gifts?
What if we used it as we traveled? What if we used it in case of an emergency?
Unlike our cell phones:
One Plan does fit all.
Unlimited usage. No roaming charges.
You always have reception.
You can use it in the mountains and in a tunnel.
It's free with no hidden costs,
AND you don't ever have to worry your scriptures being disconnected because CHRIST has already paid the bill!

Very well said. We always find time for useless and meaningless channel surfing than to spend a few quality minutes reading some meaningful things.
