Mark 12:32-33

"And the scribe said unto him, Well, Master, thou hast said the truth: for there is one God; and there is none other but he:
And to love him with all the heart, and with all the understanding, and with all the soul, and with all the strength, and to love his neighbor as himself, is more than all whole burnt offerings and sacrifices."
Mark 12:32-33


I think this is interesting ... how so many things in the gospel point to what is really important, instead of being really important by themselves.  We have thousands of pages of scriptures, but mostly what they say are... have a good relationship with God, and with the people around you. :)  It's getting there, and learning how to do that that takes up all those pages.  Stories about how different people succeeded or failed... so much to learn just to get those basics. :)
