Not a legend but the name was fun. This is just the random stuff I've thought about and want to remember. If you find it useful, hurray! If not, you'll know me better anyway.
One thing that always amazes me about the Book of Mormon is that no matter how many times I read it, I always notice something different, in every single chapter, every single time. I love that. So the kids and I are starting fresh with 1st Nephi, Chapter 1, which you can find here. This […]
MoreSo I kinda dropped the ball on the whole Blogging the Book of Mormon project I started a while ago. I drop the ball on a lot of random good ideas that I start. Someone said, “Character is the ability to carry out the decision long after the emotion of making the decision has passed.” […]
MoreThe kids and I typically read and discuss a chapter from the new testament for scripture study each night, but on the nights when we’re out of time or just not feeling up to it, we still try to at least read and talk about a scripture mastery reference. We have a box full of […]
MoreSo, I’m thinking that trying to summarize each section like I do with my kids as we read, is kind of much, particularly since it’s fairly easy for anyone to see what’s going on in this chapter. There are lots of ways you can draw out a comparison to our semi-annual general conference, where we […]
MoreSo, sometimes I don’t even read chapters sequentially. Tonight I needed this. I was looking up something else for the kids at FHE and ran across this one instead. It’s Nephi’s copy of one of his favorite chapters from Isaiah (because those scriptures were valuable to him, too). Anyway I don’t want to go into […]
MoreSo I was going to dive right in to Mosiah, but since we’re talking about King Benjamin here, we might as well jump in where he’s truly introduced: in Omni. Omni is a strange book, again just one chapter. (I remember it being a pretty cool magazine, too.) Omni straight up admits he has not […]
MoreDay one. As I mentioned in the previous post, my kids and I have made a habit of reading scriptures non-sequentially. Think of it this way: you’re reading your Bible and get stuck in Numbers every time (we have). Same thing seems to happen to a lot of LDS people with 2nd Nephi and the […]
MoreI say that as though I’ve been in the closet about it. I haven’t been. I just haven’t said much about it, either, but I’ve decided that’s going to change. Does this mean I’m going to shun you if you don’t agree with me? Not at all. Does it mean I’m going to force anything […]
