Michael came down the stairs with his homework sheet, and with a sad voice said, "Math is really hard today." When I asked what it was, his face broke into a grin, and his eyes widened and he said (his voice oozing with joy), "Prime factorization!" Later as he worked he said, "too bad we can't use exponents. It would make it so much easier."
The other day Liz was telling about memorizing some of the scripture mastery verses for seminary. Joking, Nathan said, "1 Nephi 2:15 should be a scripture master." (He likes tat it is so short. "And my father dwelt in a tent.") I said something like, "It is short, but it must be important because Nephi included it."
Liz then said, "I always thought it was interesting that Lehi could live in a tent, and it was probably really small, and he had some really spiritual experiences there."
Nathan followed with, "I thought about it a different way. I always thought it was to show how much Lehi was willing to give up. He left a big house and riches and was willing to live in a tent in the wilderness."
I hate to admit how old I was before I thought about this verse enough to learn these same lessons.
