A Place Set Apart

“I can take my Bible, and go into the woods and learn more in two hours than you can learn at meeting in two years, if you should go all the time.”- Prophet Joseph Smith, Jr., to his mother, Lucy Mack Smith, Biographical Sketches of Joseph Smith, p. 101Things get stale at times in church. The same talks the same manuals and a Prophets words and if it's Easter or Chridtmas the teachers may even reference our Savior!The best religious experiences I've had have been out in nature and in the Temple.The Temple has been set apart as a sacred place to commune with The Lord.  And everyone seems to be so good to each other I always leave feeling rejuvenated and overjoyed.My point isn't to tell anyone where they "should" feel rejuvenated and refreshed spiritually only that it is important to do so periodically.I've gone to worship and study with people of other Christisn denominations and of other faiths as well. That can hit the spot on occasion.There are places and times that are set apart for our spiritual nourishment. It does us a great deal of good to make use of them.Places to pray, places to meditate, places of silence and solitude, places of joyful noise and music, places of communion with God, places overflowing in Christlike love, there are always places set apart to nourish and provide us with what we need if we only search.Seek and ye shall find, knock and it shall be opened up to you.
