BOOK OF MORMON CORNER

Today's Reading - Mosiah 10:1-22 
Question - What have you learnt from the reading today? In which ways can false traditions hinder our progress? 
 
Thoughts - Today I really saw the importance of teaching and raising children in God's TRUTH and righteousness, rather than our own issues and personal grievances. I think keeping negative opinions & judgements to ourselves rather than spreading them around (gossip) is a direct example of false traditions. It's interesting that we have already read Nephi's account of what happened, and now we have 'the other side of the story', it's full of how they were wronged. It's easy to justify what we do after we have been hurt, or an injustice has been done towards us. Zeniff didn't dwell on what the Lamanites were doing to his people, nor did he decide the Lord was against them and teach that to his people. He taught them to trust in the Lord, and also to be prepared - they made weapons and set guards. We can be prepared in the same manner.
 
a. spiritual weapon = testimony
b.guards = commandments, prophets, apostles & general authorities, ward & stake leaders. 
 
Tomorrow's Reading (Day 108) -  Mosiah 11:1-15 
Question - What have you learnt from the reading today? What are the differences between King Noah and King Benjamin? 
 

 
 
In The English Kitchen today  . . . Lemon Sauced Salmon Cakes.  Quite simply delicious! 
 
Have a wonderful Friday.  It is dry here today, but quite cold! Brrrr!  (You Canadians would laugh at that!  Our cold is not your cold, lol)

Don't forget!

  3. Hi Marie~

    Blogger just did it to me again!!

    Oh my goodness, I just need to tell you that Fridays are my favorite day on your blog! And I will hurry and tell you, before blogger shuts me down, that all the ideas are wonderful. I love the sewing and crocheting sites, and anything artistic.

    I envy your long hair, I think bun at the nape of the neck are so elegant!

    Bread and butter pickles are my favorite kind of pickle - they just remind me of summer and all good things!

    Books, old books, are my favorite and always will be. I'm just starting a really old book on the history of the church.

    Exercising is always hard for me! Yoga has always been something that I want to try. Maybe at the local senior citizen center they will have a class? I would take it!

    The tea towels and the study pillow would be such great gifts! I need to sew more...I hope my sewing machine still works, nothing else seems to!

    Love your Book of Mormon thoughts, they always encourage me!

    Hugs and warm hugs to you and Todd!

    XOXOXO
    Barb

    1. Thanks Barb! Happy your comment made it through! yay! I used to do a lot of Yoga. I wish I had kept it up! I have never been a big exerciser and in my old age it is showing up. I was too busy when the children were growing up, there was never enough time for me to do anything for myself. I don't begrudge them that, it was what I wanted to do. I wish though that I had taken some time for me as well and exercised! Hugs and love to you and Bob! xoxo
