Lesson 30: Notes and Thoughts

I was still finishing this week's lesson off this morning as I had been away until late on Friday up in Scotland. I'd struggled to find a thread I wanted to explore in today's lesson. I finally went with looking at the answers to Corianton's "struggles" that Alma gave.

I wanted also just to thank everyone that shared their thoughts on the reading this week - it was great to see that so many of the comments were thoughts I either was going to touch upon, or had wanted to.

I'm not sure if we really did get to the bottom of whether progression continues in the Spirit world - this seems a good forum to share articles or further scriptures which might expound that a little better.

It was a shame that we didn't quite get on to the meat of Alma 42. I've posted the quote I wished to use and given a link to the original Ensign article by Boyd K. Packer entitled "The Mediator". I love the simple principles that he illustrates in the parable.

One of the things I'm most aware of during the lesson is that I don't always give you the opportunity to answer the question. You may also feel that you can't quite answer it straight away. Please feel free to answer any of the questions from the lessons in the comments section, or to add your own questions for others.
