Modern Parables

     This week we studied the parables in Matthew 13 and took time to understand and outline them.

                                                We wrote a few of our own during the process.

• Mormons on earth are likened unto a bowl into which the Master Chef has added eggs to be mixed with many other ingredients. The eggs hold together the whole mixture.
• Being a Mormon in high school is like being a daisy in a garden of roses.
• Being a Mormon is like being a airplane with infinite ways of reaching a destination, but only one right way.
• Being a Mormon in high school is likened unto a candle in a propane factory. You light the candle and the party begins.
• Being a Mormon in high school is likened to being a needle in a needle stack. No one notices the single needle until it pricks them and grabs their attention.
• This is the parable of the high school LDS student who is likened unto a pearl of great price who is put in a bag of many pearls and makes them hard to find.  
•        The Anatomy of a Seminary Lesson- A Steward(dess) lays a fire every weekday morning. He gathers twigs for kindling, larger logs for fuel, and of course the fire-starter with a match. The fire-starter is made of pressed sawdust and lights quick but cannot sustain a fire for the whole hour. So, kindling must follow and catch the blaze until it reaches the large log which warms the room with nice steady heat.
