I enjoyed reading your lesson.

(Makes me think of the scripture by Paul about not being tossed to and fro….)

One thought that I’ll share piggybacking off of a comment that was made in our class is the notion of building strong relationships. Those on the ark had to work well together. As we ‘build our arks’ we can seek for harmony and unity and love and an ability to work and serve and do in ways that don’t leave us wanting to, er, throw someone off the boat! :)

Parshall Mon, 15 Feb 2010 03:46:39 +0000 http://www.keepapitchinin.org/?p=5775#comment-19704 Ha! Thank you john, I appreciate that. I do think it’s important for people to have a mental image of the Biblical story as a way of hanging on to the theological and symbolic details, and that comparison chart would be helpful in accomplishing that. But I think by the time adults are participating in a Gospel Doctrine class, they have heard and read the story so often that they must have that image already formed. It’s time, I think, to talk about WHY those stories matter after all these thousands of years.

This is much more likely to motivate people to live more christlike lives than comparing the size of Noah’s Ark to an ocean liner or aircraft carrier.
