SUNDAY MUSINGS

“The building up of Zion is a cause that has interested

 the people of God in every age; it is a theme upon which

 prophets, priests and kings have dwelt with peculiar delight;

 they have looked forward with joyful anticipation to the

 day in which we live; and fired with heavenly and joyful

 anticipations they have sung and written and prophesied of

 this our day."

-Joseph Smith

Already Im missing sitting out there in the backyard at the patio table...
I studied best out there in the warm sun.
Its a yard full of peace and warmth..in the summer.
Sunday School lessons seemed to come easier there.



Next weeks Sunday School lesson is on Zion.
I wish that meant that I'd be teaching a lesson about Zion National Park. That would be a cinch!!
Instead it means that I'll have to teach a lesson on something that means many things to many people.
Thus far I have seen that Zion means...
....a state of mind.
....a dwelling place where God resides.
.....a pure heart.
....a journey and a destination.
....having one heart and one mind.
.....unity

(and Zion is NOT in my back yard this day)
