I think I have figured out how to get more input from you and those you love and inspire. When I began these short letters to you, I was "sort of" inviting you into my dreams, my house, my temple-time, to teach me and instruct me. What an error. I have had insights, and ideas come to me, and I am sure they came from you.
I have learned many things. I have learned that the quest for Zion and establishing Zion is an individual thing, but as Elder Christopherson said in conference, Christ when he comes will be looking for a Zion-people. There needs to be just more than one, more than two, but a "Group of people.". What does that mean?
I have learned that seeking Zion, fulfilling our covenant to give all that we have to build up Zion takes more than just a once-in-a-while thought. It is something constant. It needs to be something that is always in our mind. It is a concept that we should be thinking about each day of the week, every hour, it should influence every aspect of our life.
Since I am so weak, and since I don't seem to do it alone, I have learned from others something that MAY work.
I am creating an additional blog. Stephen Covey, who is a well respected leader in our time, has suggested that we should surround ourselves with others who feel the same as we do, those who have different experiences, those who share our vision and we should hold what he calls a "round table." We need to discuss our common goal in order to learn from each other. We should call upon everyone else to share their thoughts and ideas, which in turn will help each of us learn more. Everyone has different insights, and putting them "on the table" will definitely help us learn.
Therefore, I am creating this blog and inviting anyone who wants to post to this blog their feelings and thoughts to do so. I am sure it will help us all if we read and try to learn from this type of a set up. Enoch cannot visit us all, but he can give each one of us different ideas and suggestions, which if shared will help the whole group. So, please consider giving me your email address, and I will post your address so you can add your feelings and comments as you post your thoughts on creating a Zion and finding a people interested in this common goal.
Therefore, if you would like to share your thoughts, or just read those of others, please go to www.thezionchronicles.blogspot.com
Please do not be afraid or embarrassed to add your thoughts, we are all trying to understand and make progress toward this. Everyone thoughts are welcome and asked for.
Thanks.
