I've listened to the Book of Mormon multiple times. And, I always gain insight and learn something. So, this morning, driving to the gym, I listened in 1st Nephi as Lehi discovered an object outside his tent door. It was the Liahona, which, of course, I knew about. It directed them in their travels. But the thing I had forgotten was that it also had actually messages on it. I hadn't remembered that. Imagine getting written instructions from the Lord. Wouldn't that be marvelous...oh wait, we have that already with the Book of Mormon, Bible, modern talks of the prophets. We do live in a miraculous world. I also realized that kids today wouldn't even think anything of a director to guide us as we travel. They have grown up with GPS systems, but to those of us who didn't grow up with a GPS, it is a modern miracle. I love the Book of Mormon!
It was an inspiring, incredible evening. I'm still sort of basing in the glow of what we learned. Roland Hart gave a talk using slides telling about Behind the Scenes at The St. George Temple Dedication. He talked about how many people were involved; what needed to be done, etc. Here is just a smattering of the slides he shared with us on Tuesday night;
...is a challenge to read because there are so many wars, and then more wars. Brother against brother and son against father; bad guys against good guys, and on an on. As I listened today, I just kept wondering... WHERE ARE THE WOMEBN IN ALL OF THIS? WHY DON'T WE KNOW WHAT THE WOMN ARE SAYING AND THINKING? WHY AREN'T THE WOMEN GIVEN A VOICE TO SAY... STOP! STOP! STOP! I just can't quite believe that women would allow their fathers, brothers, sons, grandsons to continue to wage wars when no one wins. Everyone loses. I hope I remember to ask this question to St Peter when I get to the Pearly Gates.
