Scripture Study and Virtue

Lately I have just gone throught the steps read scripture a verse here or there; read the Sunday School lesson and done. No real depth or meaning behind the ritual and some days just too tired. So after my Emotions reflection I decided that I needed to rededicate myself to studying my scriptures but how?

I remembered a few years ago my stake presidency in Cypress challenged us to study the Preach My Gospel and I learned a lot. So guess what I am challenging myself to do it again for the remainder of the year.

Rather than starting with Chapter 1 I decided to pick one that I liked and it was Christlike Attributes. I read through the chapter last night and picked the attribute I want to study and develop.

Why you may ask? Well about a year ago a friend picked three words to describe me from a series that I was given. I was taken back that this person thought of me as virtuous but also flattered as I feel I fall short of what a virtuous person is. Which is why I have chosen this as my virtue to study and work on. Geez you would think I was doing my YW Personal Progress...why didnt I finish the leaders challenge to do that before I was released from the YW program in Cypress? Oh well, I am still doing it.
