I had the great privilege of attending another funeral last night--even had to lead the opening song "Love at Home." It was a nice funeral. Keith conducted and spoke--spoke well, but the stake president gave an outstanding closing message. It was about a rope.
He said the atonement is like a rope. It's strong and sturdy. You could tie a box shut with it and know that it would get to it's destination. Then he said, if you really get it, the atonement is so much more. If you are stuck or stranded or hurt, you could tie it to a tree and trust your life hanging on it to get off a cliff.
I'm so not saying it right. I should've written this last night when it was fresh. It was the best message ever. Keith and I both really felt it. It's one thing to know the atonement's there if you need it. It's a whole other thing to depend on it for your very life. Or to realize that you do. That's where we are right now. It's everything.
