Light and Learning

One of my favorite things about this time of year is the lengthening of the days.  I love how every tomorrow brings more light and sunshine.  It reminds me of the scripture in Doctrine Covenants 50:24 "That which is of God is light; and he that receiveth light, and continueth in God, receiveth more light; and that light groweth brighter and brighter until the perfect day."  This scripture is about revelation which is the topic we have been discussing all month.  
Twenty years ago (the year I graduated from high school ) President Hinckley said, “We must go on growing. We must continually learn. It is a divinely given mandate that we go on adding to our knowledge.”  Summer vacation starts this week.  You get to take a break from school, but don’t take a break from learning.  Never take a break from learning especially gospel learning.  President Hinckley also said, “Each day we are made increasingly aware of the fact that life is more than science and mathematics, more than history and literature. There is need for another education, without which the substance of secular learning may lead only to destruction. I refer to the education of the heart, of the conscience, of the character, of the spirit—these indefinable aspects of our personalities which determine so certainly what we are and what we do in our relationships one with another.”
