When I was growing up we had a weekly tradition that we called "Closure". It would take place on sunday and sort of finish off the week. What is closure? well, all 11 of us (a blended family) would gather in the living room after dinner on sunday. One by one each person was encuraged to share something they learned either that day in church, sometime over the last week, or even just their lifetime. Only if you wanted to. Once you were done, sharing would be passed to the next person. This was not a time to correct, debate, or lecture. It was simply a time to share what you had learned. Some times they were very brief, even one word. Partly because with that many teenagers you should know at least a few want to hurry up and get on with it, and also because thats just how some did it. Others would share longer thoughts.




I would like this to be a place where Closure can take place. Please share Something you have learned. If you are not an auther on the blog, but wish to share, just post what you have learned as a comment on my last post.

On the Lord's Errand

Today as they were talking about Moses and the numerous plagues inflicted on the Egyptians, I thought about parallels with the sons on Nephi when they went to get the golden plates. I tend to think that when I am on the Lord's errand, the path will be made smooth and the task easy to accomplish. The scriptural accounts sure don't teach us this. Perhaps that is why parenthood is so difficult. It is the Lord's errand.
