Thank you so much for your testimony. You see I'm not a parent yet, I'm not even married. I'm a RM currently at BYU and loving every minute of it. It is different though. This is a time in my life where I am trying to find out who I am and what I want to do with my life. That's why I am so grateful for the Book of Mormon and the council that it gives. Learning from all these wise parents who are also prophets gives me an advantange over so many others world wide. Not only am I listening to the words of wise prophets and parents, but I am able to listen to my Heavenly Father. For He is truly the author of this Book. I completely agree with you, the Book of Mormon was written by a Parent.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12101154023098355102noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7139169.post-31755897216029457862008-09-19T01:13:00.000-05:002008-09-19T01:13:00.000-05:00Great post.

Reading Jacob 7:26, he said, "this verse was not written by Joseph Smith. This verse was written by an old man." You can really recognize perspective when you're old enough to have it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7139169.post-55849820390198821252008-09-17T21:43:00.000-05:002008-09-17T21:43:00.000-05:00What a beautiful insight, Brother Lindsay!

Definitely gives a different perspective and I think it IS helpful to have some idea of the background of the writer.

Hoping that I can give them what they need in their childhood that will give them the desire to stay honest, virtous, and clean in the sight of our God.
