Jarom

Jarom 1:1 Now behold, I, Jarom, write a few words according to the commandment of my father, Enos, that our genealogy may be kept. Enos grew up to be a grown man who was old enough to go into the forest to hunt by himself before he decided to pray to understand the truthfulness of the gospel and ask for a remission of his sins. His son, Jarom, kept the record according to his father's commandment for the specific purpose of preserving their genealogy. Not to record the things of Christ, the way that Jacob, Nephi, and to a lesser extent, Enos did. What happened during this time that resulted in what appears to be a decline in spiritual confidence? Because it's not that he didn't have revelations, prophecies, etc. He tells us in verse two that he had them, but that they were not worth recording.

Are everyone's spiritual experiences worth recording? I'm keeping this blog, to talk about thoughts I have while I read the scriptures, but is this something that is worth the digital storage space it takes up? I believe so. Sometimes more than others, but I think it has value—for me if for no one else. But, perhaps, my children will read it after I die, and maybe one or two of their children will also read it, and hopefully, they will find it valuable, and it will help someone one of my descendants to know that their father believed in Christ enough to read his word and write down my thoughts about the scriptures.
