Come Thou Fount of Every Blessing
Written by: Robert Robinson; Composed by John Wyeth
Prior to General Conference this morning, I was delighted to be treated to one of my favorite hymns. I'm bummed that it is not in our current hymn book, but I'm glad the Mormon Tabernacle choir as well as the barber quartet, Reprise, have included it in their albums. I was reintroduced to this hymn several years ago, and it stirs my soul every time I hear it. I'm intrigued by the line . . . "Prone to wander, Lord, I feel it, Prone to leave the God I love; Here's my heart, O take and seal it; Seal it for thy courts above."
Why are we prone to wander? The pulls of the world are definitely enticing and becoming more and more so. Why does He still love us so much and plead continually for us to Come Unto Him, even though we do wander? What amazing love!

I love your ideas about conference. I think we will start the Conference cake tradition. We had the younger kids, " Take notes" on the the talks. The pictures and words they drew bring tears to my eyes knowing that they were really listening. Benjamin slept thru some of conference also. Teenagers.??
