Summary
In this episode of "It Feels Like Joy," I discuss the power of the scriptures and how turning to the Book of Mormon daily can help us develop a relationship with the Savior faster than any other method. You know me, I had to start there! And it's because it works.
Check out my book, "Feasting on the Words of Christ," where I share a simple, five-step method for receiving answers to your prayers through the scriptures. You're really going to love it!

| 0:00.0 | This is It Feels Like Joy, and I'm your host, Melanie Stroud. And I just wanted to say, first off, that last week was pretty silly. And after I did it, I felt good, but then when I re-listened to it, I was like, it's kind of cringy. |
| 0:22.3 | I'm too crazy. |
| 0:24.6 | And I wanted to take it down. |
| 0:25.6 | I wanted to change it. |
| 0:26.5 | I wanted to stop it. |
| 0:30.9 | And then the comments started coming in and the messages started coming in. |
| 0:37.9 | And I got a text from my cousin who said, I thought my dad made up that song about the ugly bug ball. |
| 0:44.3 | And then we texted back and forth for a minute and she told me another story about when my uncle Gordon was such an optimist. And I love the fact that that song sparked that memory. |
| 0:50.4 | And so I was so glad that that part was in there. I thought, well, if that did something, |
| 0:54.5 | then maybe something else sparked something. I don't know. And then a lady message me and I love |

| 1:17.2 | floor. At first, I was really put out at the prospect of cleaning it up, but the spirit told me |
| 1:22.2 | to play the glad game instead. So I told my coworker about the glad game and started saying all the things I could |
| 1:28.6 | think of. I'm glad I have a job. I'm glad I get a work with you. I'm glad this cheese isn't throw up. |
| 1:36.5 | It's so perfect. It turned the whole situation around. So thank you for your wonderful message about |
| 1:41.5 | finding joy in any circumstance. So I had felt for a minute that the glad game parts were too crazy, but then it did help |
| 1:51.0 | somebody, and I love that I'm glad this cheese isn't grow up. Like, come on, what a great |
| 1:56.9 | attitude. Another person named Jeannie was an older woman who started out her message |
| 2:02.1 | on my website by saying that she's 70 and doesn't even know what website means. But yet, |
| 2:08.4 | she found out how to get there and how to write me a sweet note. So thank you, Jeannie, for your |
