Brother Durant introduced a new word to our vocabulary in the Sunday afternoon session of General Conference. He told us to "ponderize" a new scripture each week.
He told us that if we have been snorkeling in the scriptures, we can begin scuba diving. Let's Dive In!
He asked us to pick one scripture a week and to ponder it and try to memorize that scripture during the week. He also said that this was not to take the place of scripture study, but to add to it.
Here's some ideas for "ponderizing" scriptures with your family:
1) During you family scripture study, keep your heart open for a scripture that will touch your family.
2) Have your kids highlight the scripture chosen, print the scripture out and post it in your home.
3) Text the scripture to your teens.
4) Write the scripture on a post it and put it in your car. Say it out loud with your kids while you are on your weekly errands.
5) Take turns sharing thoughts about the scripture during breakfast or dinner.
6) Spend some time during one of your family scripture study time to discuss and write about the scripture in journals.
