Blessed Are the Pure In Heart

I always liked Harold B Lee’s thoughts on the Beatitudes. He referred to them as the the constitution for a perfect life. Well put. Some refer to them as “beautiful attitudes”, and still others refer to them as “the way we should be”. I like them all. We recently had the opportunity to stand on the mount where multitudes gathered to hear those attitudes of the way we should “be” from the Savior Jesus Christ. Rising up from the Sea of Galillee is a beautiful green "mount" where thousands gathered to hear His famous sermon. Have you ever wondered just how such a large multitude of people gathered together on a mount could all hear one man’s voice? (I had a difficult time hearing our tour guide most of the time and there were less than 30 of us.) We discovered from our visit that the natural acoustics found right where the Savior would have given the Sermon on the Mount are quite incredible. It is a natural amphitheater so to speak. Amazing. But, I guess He would have known that. I am just a slow learner.
