Idea

This morning while sitting in the temple I had an idea.........scary thot, I know. I was reading the D&C while waiting for the session to begin and I kept coming across a word that I love. And here is the thot that came......

As a family we have a weekly word that comes from the scriptures. We mark it in a specific color and write one sentence about what that word means in your life.

We post this on the blog and each write in the comment box our response.

Tools needed: Personal scriptures -- if yours are all marked up, you might want to get a paperback set that you can mark in this way or just remark your own.

Colored pencils to use for marking.

Before long our scriptures will look like a virtual flower garden -- all dotted with many colors.
I will begin the exercise and then we will begin to assign different families or individuals to come up with a word and color.

If you are in the game, please respond!

In the meantime, here it is.....


Word for the Week: QUICKENED

Hint on where to find it: D&C 88 (there are many other places but this is a good beginning)

Color: Orange When you find it color it orange

In the Comment Section write one sentence on what this word means to you.....and you might add how many times you found the word. (some of you might want to explore beyond D&C 88)

This would be a fun FHE or Sunday activity.

Now the big question: Are you in! It will only be effective if we all add our comments. That way we learn from each other. Right now, respond if you are in. We will give you a few days to gather what you need.

  3. Count me in...When I think of "Quicken", I think of Mom's Sample Salt Lake office in what is now Heidi's room. You must have had me do some posting for you.

    I guess I'll find out what it really means....
