Why I chose the G1

So I am the proud new owner of the T-Mobile G1. Now I don't often use the word proud to describe ownership of things but having looked at an iPhone and now handling this I am very happy with how it performs and extremely fast it is. I am actuallty trying to post from the phone and it is working quite well.

Travellers in the wilderness

We have an outstanding challenge to read the Book of Mormon before our next Stake Conference so I have decided to make the effort to take on the challenge. I am currently listening to Chapter 16 of the 1st Book of Nephi. The summary of the chapter notes that "The Liahona guides their course in the wilderness." I had a sudden sense that we are all living in the spiritual wilderness. I do feel a great sense of peace though as I read that we are promised that if we follow the directions and guidance that we receive from "time to time" we will be protected as we travel through this wilderness. My mind is turned to those of our Heavenly Father's children that may be wandering. Would we not stop to help a stranger if this was a literal wilderness? If they were stranded, possibly at risk of being lost for good? Would we not extend a helping hand? Imagine if you will someone lost and upon being found rejecting or be offended that you would even consider offering a helping hand, it makes reason stare.

What great comfort this sweet sentence gives, He lives. With gratitude I take the guidance and direction offered and move forward with strength and resolve and might I extend a hand to the travelers I find on my way as I have been extended a hand from Him.
