Family Scripture and Prayer

Having just finished reading "The Book of Mormon" together as a little family, Jon and I decided to start reading "The New Testament" together. Being that Jessica is in town and often over at our house, she sometimes joins us.

The other night, the three of us were reading Matthew 6. We were on verse 6, and it was Jon's turn to read. He started reading the verse on the couch sitting next to us...

"But thou, when thou prayest,"

...and then stood up while still reading and started walking towards the closet...

"enter into thy closet, and when thou hast shut thy door,"

...got inside--still reading...

"pray to thy Father which is in secret;"

and shut the door. 

(From within the closet): "and thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly."

I think Jon has mastered the principle of likening the scriptures unto himself. Spiritual giant, that one. 

At times like this, I have to wonder what family scripture and prayer is going to be like when we have kids. I mean, what's Jon Jr. gonna' do to Lindsey Jr. when we get to the war chapters in "The Book of Mormon"?!! Whatever it's like, I'm sure that Dad will keep it interesting!
