You're not going to be here. If you were to do a survey to determine the most influential talk or sermon in history, surely the results would point to the Lord's sermon on the Mount.

Here are contained the Eternal Beatitudes.

Here is contained the Lord's prayer spoken each week by untold millions of Christ's

followers throughout the world. Here we have the golden rule. The sermon on the mount is one of the most densely packed three chapters in all of

Holy Writ. As an added bonus, when the Lord visited his other sheep in the ancient Americas, one of the first things was to give the same sermon

on the Mount text with some additional insights.

When the Lord purposely repeats something, I think he really wants our attention.

Welcome to Meridian Magazine's Come Follow Me podcast.

We're Scott and Maureen Proctor, and I have to say,

I'm so grateful to be back this week.

I appreciate all the kindness and heartfelt prayers of support that have been sent my way.

I'm on a good path of healing, although the path is long our faith is strong and we

know that all is well and all will be well. I remember so well when President Hinckley said,

I recently underwent major surgery. It is the first time in my 95 years

that I have been a patient in a hospital. I do not recommend it to anyone. I feel the same way. Although I have absolutely needed two major

surgeries on my arm, I'm so grateful for the competent and caring medical help I

have had. I truly have been blessed.

And Maureen, I'm so grateful to have you back.

I missed you so much.

In our 87 podcasts in a row, I've only done one without you.

I do not recommend that to anyone.

Now quickly to some business.
