Remember our lesson in Sunday School was about the epistle of Peter and we had a great discussion. I wish everyone had the same teacher we do. More them just teaching, knowing how to conduct a discussion.
So we are talking about about 2 Peter 1: 4-8 and how to be fruitful in the knowledge of Jesus Christ, the scripture lists : Divine Nature, diligence, faith, virtue, knowledge, temperance (self-control), patience, godliness, brotherly kindness, charity.
Ver. 8 - "For if these things be in you, and abound, they make you that ye shall neither be barren nor unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ."
there were many opinions about the Scripture, including mine, ( I talk too much), all very good opinions, and them a Sister gave her opinion and it just stayed with me and came to me with great power. She sad that when she thinks of "diligence" she also thinks of "casual", that if all these things are done casually and every once in the great while, it will do nothing for us, it needs to be constant. I love that, I really do. I think is just right on the dot. The Gospel is a Gospel of diligence and if we are merely casual about it, we are in for great disappointment, it will do nothing for us, it will have no power to save us.
I needed that reminder to never be casual about my spiritual growth or the growth of my family. Because all of this fruitful knowledge needs to be passed to our children...
Great comments make the lessons all the best and we never know when someone need them.
Keep them coming...

Hi Carmen,
I think having a blog is a wonderful idea! I love hearing other points of views about the gospel. I feel it's very inspiring for me. I agree with what you were saying about the comment made towards "diligence". I never thought about that with thinking about "casual". I am constantly thinking about how I can learn and grow spiritual for myself and my family. If I catch myself from now on being "casual" with my spiritual growth I know I am not following the advice of the scriptures (or a friend). I miss a lot of wonderful lessons and opportunities to be able to grow spiritually from RS, not that I don't get spiritually fed by primary, I love it. But it's nice to have thoughts from women and grow from their experiances. So keep up the blog!
Thanks,
Nat N.
Thanks Nat., you are far from being casual, you are very diligent.
