2 Peter 1:12

"Wherefore I will not be negligent to put you always in remembrance of these things, though ye know them, and be established in the present truth."
2 Peter 1:12


This is interesting... sometimes I sit in church and think, wow... how many times have we heard this? :)  But, as Peter says here, it really would be negligent of us to not remind each other of the truth, just because we all know, or even because we're doing the right things currently.  We all need the reminders.  Days slip into fog so easily... sometimes it is hard for us to see even the brightest truths.  That's why we have the church and each other... because we all need a reminder now and then... a clearing of the head, and a glimpse of eternity.  When others are in the fog and we are not, we can help them to see and remember... and the same when the situation is reversed.  In Lehi's dream everyone, regardless of status or past obedience, had to pass through the mist of darkness to get to the tree of life.  It is the same for us.  Some days are going to be dark, no matter what good things we are doing.  Joseph Smith said, "The nearer a person approaches the Lord, a greater power will be manifested by the adversary to prevent the accomplishment of His purposes."  So, maybe the blackness is even more likely when we are trying to go the right way.  In the dream I don't think that there was a mist preventing anyone from getting to the great and spacious building. :)  Anyway... this is your reminder for today. :)  God really is there... and he loves you.
