Is it just me or was there an emphasis on prayer during the talks on Saturday?  Or was that a personal message just for me?

I never had a problem with praying.  However, making my prayers more sincere is something I am working on. There are so many things we are asked to do and that we sometimes do faithfully as more of a checklist.

Scriptures? Check.

Church? Check.

Say prayers? Check.

But the trick is to keep our intent sincere.  In the words of Shakespeare, “My words fly up, my thoughts remain below:  Words without thoughts never to heaven go.”
