We have this great version of the Book of Mormon (when I say "version" I don't mean ANY actual scripture has been changed, it's just bigger and has pictures).
Josh LOVES the pictures. He will even sit with you for all of one minute if there is a picture that he is interested in.
He loves the "big water" so he is particularly interested in the picture of Moses parting the Red Sea.
I had a thought tonight as we were reading....
"And he did straiten them in the wilderness with his rod; for they hardened their hearts, even as ye have; and the Lord straitened them because of their iniquity. He sent fiery flying serpents among them; and after they were bitten he prepared a way that they might be healed; and the labor which they had to perform was to look; and because of the simpleness of the way, or the easiness of it, there were many who perished." - 1Nephi 17:41
I cannot say how many times I have read over this scripture, but how have I never noticed that it really says there were creatures like DRAGONS????!!!!????
Now, if they made a version of the Book of Mormon for boys full of these types of pictures, we might have one of the most spiritual homes around since we would be reading it all day long!
