Spiritual Thought:
President Hinckley said: "Without reservation I promise you that if each of you will observe this simple program, regardless of how many times you previously may have read the Book of Mormon, there will come into your lives and into your homes an added measure of the Spirit of the Lord, a strengthened resolution to walk in obedience to His commandments, and a stronger testimony of the living reality of the Son of God." (Liahona and Ensign, Aug. 2005, 6).
Daily Focus Scriptures to mark and ponder:
Alma 11:43 - "The spirit and the body shall be reunited again in its perfect form; both limb and joint shall be restored to its proper frame, even as we now are at this time; and we shall be brought to stand before God, knowing even as we know now, and have a bright recollection of all our guilt."
Alma 11:44 - "Now, this restoration shall come to all, both old and young, both bond and free, both male and female, both the wicked and the righteous; and even there shall not so much as a hair of their heads be lost; but every thing shall be restored to its perfect frame, as it is now..."
Alma 12:14 - "For our words will condemn us, yea, all our works will condemn us; we shall not be found spotless; and our thoughts will also condemn us..."
Alma 12:24 - "And we see that death comes upon mankind, which has been spoken of by Amulek; which is the temporal death...therefore this life became a probationary state; a time to prepare to meet God..."

Food for Thought:
"When President Smith declares that 'the body will come forth as it is laid to rest, for there is no growth in the grave,' he has in mind this: Infants and children do not grow in the grave, but when they come forth, they will come forth with the same body and in the same size in which the body was when it was laid away. After the resurrection, the body will grow until it has reached the full stature of manhood or womanhood. He did not intend to teach that the adult who loses a leg will come forth without that leg until it can be grafted on after the resurrection.
Rather, his body will come forth complete in every part. Deformities and the like will be corrected, if not immediately at the time of the uniting of the spirit and body, so soon thereafter that it will make no difference. We may be sure that every man will receive his body in its perfect frame in the resurrection." (Joseph Fielding Smith Jr., Doctrines of Salvation, Vol.2, p.292 - p.295)
