I was thinking the other day about my scripture reading habit and how it hasn't really survived well through my busy school schedule and lack of initiative. Although I don't think that listening to scriptures is the most beneficial, it is certainly better than what I am doing now. I am a firm believer that media is definitely for spreading the gospel, even if that is to myself. I think from now on, I'm going to download scriptures to my iPod and listen to those in the morning. That way I don't get the anxiety of not being able to bust out my Celine Dion lyrics and I get my much needed spiritual nourishment every day. Genius!

Swapping music for scriptures?
As my husband and I only have one car, I walk to school each morning so that he can take the car to work at 5:30 AM without getting abducted! Just kidding. But as I walk to school every morning, I stick in my headphones and listen to my decade old music on my iPod. Before I got an iPod, I used to walk in silence and just think to myself about the mysteries of the universe...well, not really, but I had a lot of time to think. I find now that listening to music is just kind of a time waster for me as I walk to school. Don't get me wrong, I love music, but I can't even belt it out while I'm walking to school so it really doesn't do much for me.

ReplyDeleteThat's a great idea! I like what you said about spreading the gospel with media, even to yourself. That is a great way of looking at it. I love how the Church uses media so much!
