I have been instructed since I was young to read the Book of Mormon daily and for a long time I did just that. However, following my mission, I experienced what I can only describe as Book of Mormon burnout. I had read it so often and so long, that no matter how disciplined I tried to be, I felt bored by it. Every chapter and verse had been examined, and like someone that had over-eaten their favorite food, it lost its savor. I am not saying this because I am proud of it, or faulting the scripture. The familiarity of it was just no longer comforting. I have read from it often since then. I have picked it up and searched through topics connecting different scriptures and ideas together, but I have to say that I have not read the BOM from start to finish in many years. So in an effort to re-commit myself to daily reading it and discipline my effort, I have decided to read it in the next 90 days, which averages about 3 chapters a day. Hopefully, I will have some new inspiration from each reading that I will want to write about, or this blog will be a bore. Feel free to chime in with insights and corrections! I am sure I will need it.
