1. The reason the prophets and apostles don't talk about "cool" stuff more often is because we are still working on the little things, like reading our scriptures, saying our prayers, and keeping the commandments. "When you're all doing that stuff, then we'll tell you where Kolob is."
2. All of us think we're too busy to do those things. "If I could put a camera on you and follow you around with it, you'd see how much time you actually waste."
He's absolutely right about both of these things. I do frequently use the time excuse because of work, school, and homework. I do however manage to find a little bit of time in-between all of that to do things that I enjoy, like sitting and watching a movie or a show once in a while. If I really made prayers and scriptures a priority over the little things I like doing (or really made scripture study something I like doing right along with the other things) I'm sure I could find time to fit it into my schedule more often. I certainly remember being close to the scripture and prayer during my mission. Personal study was my favorite part of the day, and since then I've left a lot of project for studying the scriptures undone. I'll make a commitment now to do better about it.
