And my father dwelt in a tent, 1 Nephi 2:16

This verse has always intrigued me. We know that Mormon abridged the plates so as to only include those things he felt would be important for us in the last days. Then why include such a seemingly insignificant verse describing the relatively indigent housing conditions of Lehi? And why repeat the fact that Lehi dwells in a tent four times within the first 16 chapters? (1 Nephi 2:15; 1 Nephi 9:1; 1 Nephi 10:16; and 1 Nephi 16:6)


And it finally came to pass...

Hey all,


Well I finally got around to getting this blog set up so I can start posting my many great insights ;-) and ponderings gained from reading the book of mormon as part of our ward challenge.


This is my first blog so please bear with me as I struggle through it. For like Nephi I am not mighty in writing as I am in speaking, hang on I'm not even mighty in speaking. Ah well, hopefully the spirit will be able to make up for my lack of skills and you will somehow be able to gain something from what I write.
