found the source!

Regarding my last short post here-- Turns out that 9th Article of Faith comment...the one that really captured my attention...was a special article written for the Church magazines by Elder Holland.  I listened to it online but couldn't remember for sure where and whom etc. (or is that  who? I need to refresh my mind on that!)  Anyhow...it's in the new December Ensign and it is wonderful.

Here is the paragraph that grabbed my thoughts and has kept me pondering... more to come.  Those words keep popping up by the Prophet and some of the 12.  More to come.

And surely there is more to come. As our ninth article of faith declares, “We believe all that God has revealed”—that’s often the easy part. It takes a special kind of faith to “believe that He will yet reveal many great and important things pertaining to the Kingdom,” and then to be ready to accept them, whatever they are. If we are willing, God will lead us to places we’ve never dreamed we could go—as lofty as our dreams might already be. His thoughts and His ways are certainly much higher than ours (see Isaiah 55:8–9). In a sense, I suppose we’re not unlike those in Kirtland to whom the Prophet Joseph Smith said, “You know no more concerning the destinies of this Church and kingdom than a babe upon its mother’s lap.”

Here is the article   by Elder Holland

I also really enjoyed D&C 124:41.  footnote a , check it out!...refers to the 9th Article of Faith!  Wowzer!  Exciting!

  For I deign to areveal unto my church things which have been kept bhid from before the foundation of the world, things that pertain to the dispensation of the cfulness of times.
