I've taken some time to look through your blog posts and think you're well on your way to becoming addicted to the world that is blogging.... ;) <BR/><BR/>I read through some of your Isaiah book and think it's fantastic you're trying to make the book come alive for teenagers. Heaven knows, plenty of adults could use their fair share of enlightening in that regard as well. Hopefully when your children reach their teens it would provide you with exactly the tools you need to help them face the challenges unique to our day.<BR/><BR/>One of your posts I read dealt with the herd of swine of Matthew 8. I've found certain aspects of the account puzzling myself. Just this evening I came across a quote by Joseph Smith that I thought you might find interesting:<BR/><BR/>"Jesus commanded him to come out of the man, and the Devil besought him that he might enter into a herd of swine nearby. For the Devil knew they were a covetous people, and if he could kill their hogs,they would drive Jesus out of their coasts, and he then would have tabernacle[s] enough."<BR/><BR/>The original source is from the Words of Joseph Smith, although I got it out of a book compiled and edited by Kent Jackson, "Joseph Smith's Commentary On the Bible." <BR/><BR/>Keep up the good word, and thanks for dropping by 'Mormon Conversation.'Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
