New Book Title "Every Good Thing"

Such probing questions are often found in scripture- authors in the Book of Mormon use this technique (bibical scholar training) to push the student/reader- to cause further personal investigation, research and reflection. And creates the student/reader to pose questions, perhaps to the Lord or to an angel in return.  Nephi had similar questions to what his father taught of the Tree of Life, and asked his father and an angel of what these sacred things meant.  We should follow a similar pattern. Elder Soares stated, "our actions should reflect what we learn and teach".  In Moroni 7:20 "how is it possible that ye can lay hold upon every good thing?" Moroni spells out the answer in the remaining verses of the chapter.  I love verse 28 in his teaching of "every good thing", "for he hath answered the ends of the law, and he claimeth all those who have faith in him; and they cleave unto every good thing; wherefore he advocateth the cause of the children of men; and he dwelleth eternally in the heavens".

This verse has clearly inference to the Tree of Life (cleave usage, like unto the rod of iron)- Moroni reflecting on words of Lehi and Nephi towards the end of his writings.

Pure And Spotless Before God

The 16 Stones in the Book of Ether, how they illuminated the vessels of the Jaredites through the darkness of the deep, in the front and back of the ship? Could this be like "someone" needing such similar like stones to carry them through some of life's sometimes dark days, beyond and behind our sometimes mis-objected view? or they even perhaps, being a guide through life's like lands of Nimrod, Moricomer, across the sea to the promised land? Is it like Neal Maxwell's comment on the obedience of the 7th commandment, as a lamp to our path ahead, and blessings from therein obeying the law? Can we identify maybe 16 or more shining gems promised, from his book "Not Withstanding My
Weakness" chapter?! Yes, #6 Being Pure and Spotless Before God.
