Our Bishop spoke in Sacrament Meeting on Easter Sunday. He has challenged the whole ward to something he calls "Whole Soul Month." He would like all of us to do more, strive more, improve ourselves more.
He referenced Omni 1:26
26 "And now, my beloved brethren, I would that ye should come unto Christ, who is the Holy One of Israel, and partake of his salvation, and the power of his redemption. Yea, come unto him, and offer your whole souls as an offering unto him, and continue in fasting and praying, and endure to the end; and as the Lord liveth ye will be saved."
It feels pretty exciting to have this challenge. We should all be doing this anyway, but it has seemed to be a LONG winter and with Spring arriving it feels like a new start. The challenge is quite appropriate for Easter -- a resurrection, sort of.
I do not know exactly what I will do more of. That is still in the planning. Taking a look at what I am doing now is first and I am doing that. It is easy to get too comfortable and not improve myself. For a while I have wanted to increase my temple attendance. That is one thing I can add to the list for my personal soul.
