"I do not know the meaning of all things" (1 Ne. 11:17)‏

On Monday night, May 12th, Mom and I watched a movie We Are Marshall. It is a 2006 American drama film, that depicts the aftermath of the 1970 plane crash that killed 37 football players on Marshall University Thundering Herd football team, along with five coaches, two athletic trainers, the athletic director, 25 boosters, and a crew of five. It also addresses the rebuilding of the program and the healing that the community undergoes.

While clearly not the main focus of the film, one thing that struck me was how the new coach dealt with various difficult questions by simply telling the people, he didn't know the answer. This then allowed the people to figure things out  for themselves. 

When Nephi was asked "Knowest thou the condescension of God?" He responded: "I know that he loveth his children; nevertheless, I do not know the meaning of all things" 

 (1 Ne. 11:16-17).

What a blessing in our lives to know that no matter what "all things have been done in the wisdom of him who knoweth all things" (2 Ne. 2:24). We pray to a Heavenly Father that "knoweth all things".

Perhaps, we will be alive during the glorious millennium "in that day when the Lord shall come, he shall reveal all things--Things which have passed, and hidden things which no man knew, things of the earth, by which it was made.." (D & C 101: 32-33)

Women are able to carry all kinds of items by balancing them on their heads.

 

These women have just purchased some supplies.

 
They have probably chosen this road to walk on because it is somewhat level and has asphalt.

 

Here two men labor to transport a load of sand. Normally, this is a three man operation.

 

 This women is walking by and asks if she can help.

 

They consent and she helps move the work along.
