An excellent parable. Even within the church there are voices that can lead us astray. We must be very careful.

I wrote it. I got to thinking about Lehi’s mists of darkness descending onto the “great conversation.”

Very nice. Did you make this up, or read it somewhere?

I had a discussion about this very principle with my daughter yesterday. After my husband left with the missionaries, she turned to me and asked “Can we know it is real? Can we prove it?” (the gospel, specifically in reference to her having said “He’s always there” just a moment before)

I pulled out my Book of Mormon and turned to Alma 32:27-28. We talked about scientists, and how when they want to prove something they do experiments. We then talked about experimenting with faith (using Alma’s words), specifically spiritual perception. We then discussed spiritual perception as another sense, and I told her that she’s learned to use all her other senses since she was a baby, and that she can learn to use this one as well. She just has to pay attention to it.

I think she got it. (well, as much as an 8-year-old can, y’know…)

It was an amazing moment.
