Welcome to Zina, who taught our lesson on Thursday and left us with the important question "and then ... what happened next?", reminding us to contemplate how our lives continue after we have had significant spiritual experiences ...
I often wonder about 1Ne 14:7 - "the marvelous work and a wonder". It occurs to me as I re-read this section that this work has everlasting consequences; and that the effect of this work which is done will be to convince us to peace or to "deliver" us to the hardness of our hearts and blindness of our minds both temporally and spiritually. Those are extreme positions. What is it that we can do, what is the "and then" that helps us to remain on the side of peace, as it were? How do we know when our hearts are hard? How can we respond when our hearts are heard so as to not be delivered up to our own heard hearts? How can we overcome the blindness of our minds?
Much to ponder - "what happens next"?
