The Seed

Family scripture reading is a somewhat painful event. Ninety-nine percent of the time, the whole episode feels like I'm swimming in tar and I have to pull the kids along behind me. Good times.

But then there is the remaining one percent. In those slivers of time, something good happens. The moments are rare, but they're golden when they happen.

A few nights ago, we (which is a very loose term) were reading in Alma:

"...Now, if ye give place, that a seed may be planted in you heart, behold, if it be a true seed, or a good seed....behold, it will begin to swell within your breasts; and when you feel these swelling motions, ye will begin to say..."

At this point, I looked up to find Sam staring at me with bright eyes and a large smile. She simply stated, "I gotta get me one of those seeds. It makes your boobs grow."

Spiritual moment? Apparently it was for Sam. Todd and I laughed so hard we almost peed. I told her that if I ever find one of those seeds, I'm keeping it for myself.
