I wonder what would happen if we treated our Book of Mormon
like we treated our cell phones?

What if we carried it around
in our purses or in our pockets?

What if we turned back to go get it
if we forgot it?

What if we flipped through it
several times a day?

What if we spent an hour or more using it
every day ?

What if we used it to receive messages ?

What if we treated it like we
couldn't live without it?

What if we gave it to our friends and our brothers
and our sisters and our hommies as gifts ?

What if we used it as we traveled ?

What if we used it in case of an emergency?

Is this something where we could say "Dude. Where's my Book of Mormon?"

Unlike our cell phones:

• one plan fits all
• unlimited usage
• no roaming charges
  
• you always have reception
• no weak signals
• and we don't ever have to worry about our Book of Mormon being disconnected
  

because Christ has already paid the bill.

This is apparently adapted from "Cell phone vs bible," but I saw it on the video here http://deseretbook.com/video/view/7.


Kind of reminds me of this old poem

THE BOOK OF MORMON AND THE T.V. GUIDE
(Author -- Unknown to me)

On the table side by side,
The Book of Mormon and the T.V. Guide.

One is well worn and cherished with pride.
Not the Book of Mormon, but the T.V. Guide.

One is used daily to help folks decide,
Nope, not the Book of Mormon, but the T.V. Guide.

As pages are turned what shall they see,
Oh, what does it matter - turn on the T.V.

The word of God is seldom read,
Maybe a verse here or there before they fall into bed.

Exhausted and sleepy and tired as can be,
Not from reading the Book of Mormon, but from watching T.V.

So back to the table side by side,
The Book of Mormon and the T.V. Guide.

The Plan of Salvation is full and free,
But is found in the Book of Mormon, not the T.V.
