"All About"

Is not this what the work is all about? Said the Savior, “I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.” (John 10:10.) Without great abundance of the things of the world, these, my friends, live abundantly. Such as they are the strength of the Church. In their hearts is a quiet and solid conviction that God lives and that we are accountable to him; that Jesus is the Christ, the Way, the Truth, the Life (see John 14:6); that this work is their work; that it is true; and that gladness and peace and healing come in walking in obedience to the commandments of God (see D&C 89:18), as set forth in the teachings of the Church.

“All About”

Too soon to know so little
frequenting the well thirsty
yet without cup or bucket
leaving unsatisfied empty
distracted in playful frolic
ignoring the ‘all about’
mistaking the life to be had
dispatching the conviction
of the Saviors mission
without Scriptures read
without eternal fullness
to know so little too soon!
