scripture study

i had a reminder about scripture study today in our sunday school lesson.
one that applies to me right now in this busy life of mine.

...behold, i will tell you in your mind and in your heart, by the Holy Ghost...

~Doctrine and Covenants 8:2

the teacher told us that we absolutely have to have both our mind and our heart fully in scripture study or else we will not get anything out of it. meaning we can't just read the words on the page and be upset about something going on in our lives. or have our hearts in it but be thinking about our to-do lists. they have to both be in it. the teacher made it sound more eloquent than that but it made me stop and think about how often than not i will just read to read. instead of taking the time to focus and learn from my scripture study.
