This was the cover of Sunday's program for Sacrament meeting. The words "Walk With Me" struck a cord and kept thinking about the questions --What do I really know about Jesus Christ? Could I take His arm and walk with Him like my own brother or am I too shy? Am I comfortable with the Lord's plan for my life? When He beckons me "arise and walk," do I follow? Is my mind filled with His life accounts from the scriptures? Do I understand the many testimonies of Him written in the scriptures? Could I recognize Him in a crowd because I know Him?

| "Walk With Me" by Greg Olsen |
All those questions have been floating around in my mind...I know my own children from across the playground. I know my husband from across the airport terminal amongst thousands. If I close my eyes, do I know His image in detail. In a crowded room, could I really know which is Jesus Christ, the Son of God?! I find that at the moment, I'm ill-prepared for that task. However, I find comfort in the scriptures that "but if ye are prepared ye shall not fear" (Doctrine & Covenants 38: 30) and now I know that I have work to do in learning more and more every day.

Today, I looked at my dry & empty mug
I thought how often I keep it empty all day long.
So today, I filled it up!
I thought how many times it just sits full
at my desk without touching it.
But today I drank the nice cold & refreshing water!
Lesson learned -- fill your cup with goodness
& enjoy before it goes stale!
