3 Nephi 17

I just re-read one of my favorite chapters of the Book of Mormon, 3 Nephi 17.  Every time I read this chapter, I am overwhelmed by the spirit.  I am reminded how much the Lord loves each of us individually.  It is just amazing that the Savior can sense the needs/thoughts/desires of the entire multitude and meet those needs while still serving each person separately.  How amazing would it have been to be there and have the Savior pull you to His knee, bless you, and heal you.  I think of how the parents must have wept as He called all the children to Him.  It must have been comforting to behold the Lord embrace each child and know no matter the destruction around them, that they were all encircled in the arms of His love.


At this very moment, I feel how much I am loved.  I know if the Savior was here right now, He would ask me to come to Him and then He would embrace me.   I know I am encircled in the arms of His love.  I know we all are.  This knowledge is truly one of the most magnificent things I possess.    

The Host

I have to admit, when I heard they were making a movie based on The Host I was pretty nervous.  The Twilight movies have been pretty bad, mostly because of Kristen Stewart, so I didn't have high hopes for this movie.  My hopes were stomped on once again when I saw who they cast as Melanie/Wanda.  Saoirse Ronan doesn't fit the description given in the book, at least I know she can act.  I recently checked out the rest of the cast and I am getting more excited.  I think they actually cast good actors and people who fit the roles they are going to play.  Although, I am not sure how I feel about Diane Kruger playing the Seeker.  She is too gorgeous!  


I just watched the teaser trailer and I think it is going to be a good movie.  I am not sure how they are going to pull off the role of Melanie/Wanda, but I am excited to see in a year.
