If there is one commandment which the latter-day saints keep, it is the command to meet together oft. If ever there is a problem, we will meet about it. We have committee meetings, presidency meetings, planning meetings, correlation meetings, welfare meetings, and inservice meetings. At times, we meet just to schedule other meetings. Meetings can even take on a life all their own.
However, when the Lord commanded that we meet together oft, he was clearly speaking of sacrament meetings, in which the members would have the opportunity to take advantage of the healing powers of the atonement. We must never let these other meetings take precedence. We should never lose sight of the tree of life because there are so many other trees in the forest. At times, we may even find it necessary to chop down a few unneeded trees so they don't block our vision.
