King Benjamin is pretty amazing. There are SO many things to learn from him. Last night, I recognized something I've never noticed before. In Mosiah 1:2 it states that "he caused that they should be taught in all the language of their fathers, that thereby they might become men of understanding..." --so they could read the records brought from Jerusalem, among other things.
Then in verse 3 it says that "he taught them concerning the records which were engraven upon the plates of brass."
Now I hope this isn't stretching it a bit, but I started thinking about King Benjamin as a parent. He allowed (or "caused") others to do the "secular" teaching, if you will, and did the most important teaching himself. He knew what was the best thing to spend his time teaching his children. He himself bore testimony to them and taught them the things of the kingdom.
Just another example of how to spend our time wisely with our children and to teach them the best things.
