"On a visit he made to a mission president and his family in Russia,
Elder Maxwell sat down with the five young daughters in the family one
morning to converse. The first thing he asked them was what scripture
they had been pondering that day. The question took the girls by
surprise. But think about it. Elder Maxwell just assumed that the
scriptures were as precious as gold and sweeter than honey to them as
they were to him. If we did as he suggested and always had a scripture
in mind, scripture study would be happening as we walked between
classes, drove to appointments, or cleaned our houses. It would begin
early in our lives and be ongoing and constant. We would be continually
feasting, averting personal famine and spiritual hunger. The words of
God would be “written . . . not in tables of stone, but in fleshy tables
of [our] heart[s]” (2 Corinthians 3:3)." - BYU Speech - Susan Tanner, September 2005
