"No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon."

Matthew 6:24
So there's this week's scripture, and we're pretty excited about it, especially since they spoke about it so much in this last general conference (found here).
As for last weeks scripture (Moses 7:18 - found here) Derek & I both got it, as did my mom who's staying with us right now (yippee! :) ) And you all?
I loved how it says that the Lord called his people Zion, and then explains why. They were of one heart, one mind, were righteous, and there was no poor. I was thinking about the attributes that lead to those results. For example, to be of one heart, you have to be united - and to be united you can't be picking at the other person - you need to have charity, the pure love of Christ. One mind - truly united with God, to me signifies the need to fully submit our will to God, and humbly let Him lead me. Righteousness - obeying the commandments with exactness and following the example of Christ. And the lack of poor shows our humility, service, and work ethic. That when all who can work, and are honest, we get what we need. It was neat for me to think of those things that I need to do to become truly a woman of the Lord and to help establish Zion, especially in my life and my home.
Love you and happy Sunday!!

I love your mini devotionals, Manda.
I love these scriptures!
I find it hard to buckle down and fully memorize the ones that I *sorta* have in memory, though not perfect.
Anybody else having the same issue?? :)
