Really Cool Foods

There is a particular verse in the scriptures that I will never read the same way again.  Keith has forever given it meaning to me.  That's why I include it as a scripture that I own--a scripture that I've inherited from my very wise husband.  It is 2 Nephi 32:3
"...feast upon the words of Christ; for behold, the words of Christ will tell you all things what ye should do."

Now,  let me just say, Keith is the food man.  It's his business.  He has to be sure things taste good and will sell in a national grocery chain store. New products.  Improved products.  Salads.  Ribs.  In fact, over the years, he's covered almost every category of  food.   He also knows a little about feasting.  He likes good food--cool food.  Tasting it.  Tweeking it.  Enjoying a meal.

Besides food, he has some other loves,  the scriptures being one of them.  He can see, as the bishop, that the youth haven't all fostered that love in their lives.  Last year for girls camp, he got sporks for all the girls and wrote the reference for the feasting scripture on them with a sharpie.  He talked to the girls about feasting on the word.  It was a great object lesson.  This year before general conference, he talked to one of his suppliers from work (Really Cool Foods) about getting him some notebooks with the name of their company printed on the front.  He gave all the youth a notebook and a pencil and told them to record some of the words of Christ they had feasted on while listening to the prophets speak.

Keith and I both love the scriptures.  We both love learning things we haven't seen before and listening to the kids read from the words of Christ.  I credit our reading the Book of Mormon together as the instrument that made it possible for Ian to become a good reader and actually like reading books himself.  Harry Potter didn't hurt either, but the blessing came through our obedience in reading scripture.  It changed Ian's life to be able to read better.

There really are cool things to feast on in the scriptures.  Sometimes we nibble.  Sometimes we snack.  We hope to get 3 squares a day.  But we also need to feast more often.
