Tight like a dish

There are a people in the Book of Mormon known as the Jaredites their history is an interesting one. I will not go into their history. I want to talk about something they did. They were crossing the wilderness. They come to this huge body of water. I don't know where it was or what body of water. It could of been any body of water. So when they get to this water the Lord tells them to build barges. So they do and one phrase in there is like unto a dish. This is found in the Book of Ether Chapter 2 verse 17 and it says...


17And they were built after a manner that they were exceedingly^atight, even that they would hold water like unto a dish; and the bottom thereof was tight like unto a dish; and the sides thereof were tight like unto a dish; and the ends thereof were peaked; and the top thereof was tight like unto a dish; and the length thereof was the length of a tree; and the door thereof, when it was shut, was tight like unto a dish.


 I want to focus on tight like unto a dish. We should have our lives like this the best we can. I am not telling you you have to live like this but try. If we have our lives like this it will be better. If they are tight like a dish it is harder for bad things to enter in out lives. Just imagine what you would consider bad. Maybe it could become 10 times worse. If our lives are not in order than they could fall apart because we are not focused and we are letting this all happen. Try to keep you life like that of the Jaredite barges tight like unto a dish. It will be really helpful.
