The story of the Jaredites is amazing. First, they build these bardges that I wonder how they were built, and what they looked like.
I found this online. It's someone's idea of what they might have looked like.

They were in the water traveling for 344 days, that's almost a year.
The people wanted a king so Orihah was appointed, "Orihah did walk humbly before the Lord, and did remember how great thing the Lord had done for his father, and also taught his people how great things the Lord had done for their fathers."

 How can we better "walk humbly before the Lord," "remember how great things the Lord had done" and teach others of the things the Lord does?

It is important as well to pray about our leaders and not just accept them, and once we know they were called of God sustaining them is more then just raising our right arm to the square it's living our lives the way they direct and guide us.

Blessing: It's the 4th of July this week and I get a long weekend!!!

The Lord has said it is our duty to teach our children in their youth, and I prefer to take His word for it rather than the words of those who are not obeying His commandments..

Parents are deceiving themselves in imagining that their children will be born with a knowledge of the gospel." (Richard O. Cowan, The Church in the Twentieth Century, p. 319)*...

Gordon B. Hinckley said, "We all do a lot of studying, but most of us don't do much meditation. We don't take time to think. I'd like to suggest that next fast day . . . everybody in this hall set aside an hour or two. Sit by yourself. Go in the bedroom and lock the door. Go out in the yard under a tree. Go in your study if you have one and shut the door, and think about yourself and your worthiness. Read from this great book [Book of Mormon]...There's a great word that's used, 'ponder.' "'Ponder.' What do we mean by 'ponder'? Well, I think it simply means kind of quietly thinking things through. Ponder what you have read. Ponder your life. Are you worthy, are you living the commandments...?" (Church News, 01/06/96) -Christ commanded them to; 1. " ponder upon the things which I have said, 2. ask the Father, in my name, that ye many understand, 3. prepare your minds for the morrow ," (3 Nephi 17:3) -The thing...
