“We easily can be overcome by the routine and mundane
matters of mortality. Sleeping, eating, dressing, working, playing, exercising,
and many other customary activities are necessary and important. But
ultimately, what we become is the result of our knowledge of and willingness to
learn from the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost; it is not merely the sum
total of our daily pursuits over the course of a lifetime. The gospel is so
much more than a routine checklist of discrete tasks to be performed; rather,
it is a magnificent tapestry of truth fitly framed and woven together, designed
to help us become like our Heavenly Father and the Lord Jesus Christ, even partakers
of the divine nature. Truly, we are blinded by looking beyond the mark when
this overarching spiritual reality is overshadowed by the cares, concerns, and
casualness of the world.” – Elder David A. Bednar
