The reason for this Blog is so that our children will always have our thoughts and feelings about the Book of Mormon and its teachings. We have invited grandparents to add their thoughts and insights as well because they are the smartest people we know when it comes to the teachings of the gospel. There will come a time when we have left this earth and our children/grandchildren will still be able to read our words and feel of our testimonies.

Jacob 4:4 For, for this intent have we written these things, that they may know that we aknew of Christ, and we had a hope of his bglory many hundred years before his (2nd) coming; and not only we ourselves had a hope of his glory, but also all the holy cprophets which were before us.

2nd Nephi Chapter 16:1-13

1aIn the byear that king Uzziah died, I csaw also the Lord sitting upon a throne, high and lifted up, and his train filled the temple.
 2Above it stood the aseraphim; each one had six wings; with twain he covered his face, and with twain he covered his feet, and with twain he did fly.
 3And one cried unto another, and said: Holy, holy, holy, is the Lord of Hosts; the whole earth is full of his aglory.
 4And the posts of the door moved at the voice of him that cried, and the house was filled with smoke.
 5Then said I: Wo is unto me! for I am undone; because I am a man of unclean lips; and I dwell in the midst of a people of unclean lips; for mine eyes have aseen the King, the Lord of Hosts.
 6Then flew one of the seraphim unto me, having a live coal in his hand, which he had taken with the tongs from off the altar;
 7And he laid it upon my mouth, and said: Lo, this has touched thy lips; and thine ainiquity is taken away, and thy sin purged.
 8Also I heard the voice of the Lord, saying: aWhom shall I send, and who will go for us? Then I said: Here am I; send me.
 9And he said: Go and tell this people—Hear ye indeed, but they understood not; and see ye indeed, but they perceived not.
 10Make the heart of this people fat, and make their ears heavy, and shut their eyes—lest they see with their eyes, and ahear with their ears, and understand with their bheart, and be converted and be healed.
 11Then said I: Lord, how long? And he said: Until the cities be wasted without inhabitant, and the houses without man, and the land be utterly desolate;
 12And the Lord have aremoved men far away, for there shall be a great forsaking in the midst of the land.
 13But yet there shall be a tenth, and they shall return, and shall be eaten, as a teil-tree, and as an oak whose substance is in them when they cast their leaves; so the aholy seed shall be the substance thereof.
Thoughts:
Jason: Verse 5 & 6 once again bring up the fact that when we face the Lord we will be completely aware of our doings here on earth. Verse 7 however is the verse that gives us hope. If we apply the atonement into our lives we may be aware of the things we have done but they will not be weighing us down when we meet the father.
