"And it came to pass that when they came up to the temple, they pitched their tents round about, every man according to his family, consisting of his wife, and his sons, and his daughters, and their sons, and their daughters, from the eldest down to the youngest, every family being separate one from another."
Mosiah 2:5
I really love this "campout at the temple" idea, although of course it wasn't a vacation... more like a general conference. I can't always get my mind around a Zion-like society, but imagining King Benjamin and his people comes pretty close. He just laid it out for them, and they listened, and truly wanted to serve God. Awesome times.
Today, even though we can't pitch our tents at the temple, we *can* still hear the words of the Lord through the scriptures and through his servants. General Conference talks are online, as are the scriptures. Instead of doing something else today, let's carve out a little time as these people did for King Benjamin, and for God.
