Today's Favorite Verse: Doctrine & Covenants 55:4
"And again, you shall be ordained to assist my servant Oliver Cowdery to do the work of printing, and of selecting and writing books for schools in this church, that little children also may receive instruction before me as is pleasing unto me."
Schools in Zion have fascinated me since home schooling my children. These first schools for children were not just religious training like "Come, Follow Me", for Sunday School and Primary as we have now. These schools were for the complete education including, reading, writing, arithmetic, science and history. These were church sponsored schools but now there are only the universities. I have felt that BYU Pathways is moving us along this path once again. I cannot imagine as the world grows darker that textbooks and curriculums for children are not coming. For now we are learning the basics of teaching our children in the home with "Come, Follow Me". I will continue to watch and see what develops with interest.
"And all thy children shall be taught of the Lord; and great shall be the peace of thy children."
(3 Nephi 22:13)
"Behold, I say unto you, concerning the school in Zion, I, the Lord, am well pleased that there should be a school in Zion, and also with my servant Parley P. Pratt, for he abideth in me."
(Doctrine and Covenants 97:3)
