Fifth Sundays

Fifth Sundays are somewhat of an anomaly. We thought we'd utilize them for a unique kind of post that will serve two purposes:

1) A place to keep track of scriptures that are meaningful to our family - just various verses, without particular connection to each other. We may share scriptures we've chosen to memorize together, maybe scriptures we've encountered in our personal study, maybe scriptures that have motivated fun family night activities or good discussions. We may include talks or books or music or art. Whatever.

It will just be a fun little smorgasbord!

2) We love what Whittier says, "Thee lift me and I'll lift thee and we'll both ascend together." We love the insight that comes from spiritual sharing. So we thought...for our Fifth Sunday smorgasbords...why not open the comments and invite your participation? There's no obligation to write, we just thought we'd give it a trial run. Commenting will be available throughout the week. If you come across a great scripture or idea in your personal reading, come back and share it! If you attend a great class, or you have a fun FHE discussion, tell us about it! If you see an inspiring painting or hear a beautiful song, post the link! Maybe you wrote about something gospel related/uplifting on your blog, or you found a treasure on someone else's - we'd love those links too!

If no one has desire/time to do any of the above, we're not offended! Heaven knows none of us need another blog to comment on! If this doesn't fly, then we'll reassess. But sometimes my own heart aches to share a newly discovered spiritual gem - with anyone who will listen! Reminds me of a few months ago when I was reading a fabulous account in the New Testament and I excitedly poked my four year old daughter who was playing beside me:
"Do you want to hear what I was reading about???!!" I asked with great enthusiasm.
"No," she said to me without missing a beat.
*Sigh*

Well, we do want to hear! So: anything is welcome! Including questions (plenty of those come up in our study, right?)! It'll just be a pot luck of sorts- you can bring whatever you want to the table! And then we can all "let [our souls] delight in fatness."
2 Nephi 9:51, Isaiah 55: 2

With that drum roll, here's our first fifth Sunday attempt:
