Do I ask questions?

1 Nephi 15

Nephi explains to his brothers the dream Lehi had concerning the tree of life.  They wanted to know.  When I read some of the things Laman, Lemuel did, as well as those struggling with testimonies, I compare it to my own struggles and to others I see struggling.  One thing that is dynamically different is Laman and Lemuel asked questions.  For a very long time in my life, I didn’t ask any questions.  It just didn’t matter.  So at what point were Laman and Lemuel beyond asking questions?  When did they stop wanting to know?

So how does this thought affect me in my life now?  I think I probably need to be asking more questions when I read the scriptures.  I watched in fascination at the SS teacher yesterday.  She obviously knows how to ask questions.  I want to be like that.  It’s very hard for me to think of questions.  I read the story. 

I did notice that the first thing Nephi did after he had his own vision of the Tree of Life, he went to his father’s tent.  Isn’t it just a natural thing we do when we live as our parents would have us live.  When something good happens to us, we naturally want to share it with our parents.  I see it in my own life, and I see it in the lives of my children.
