Zion Family Introduction

On December 9, 2007, while visiting Heidi and her family in Beaverton, Oregon, I was studying the verse in Moses 7:18:

"And the Lord called his people Zion, because they were of one heart and one mind, and dwelt in righteousness; and there was no poor among them."

The key attributes of a Zion people that immediately came to mind are:

  • Unity

  • Obedience

  • Service


I was directed by the Spirit that we should establish "Becoming a Zion Family" as a theme for our family during 2008, and that we should strive to build these qualities in our family. Since then, we have agreed during an extended family home evening to adopt this as the Dent-Dixon family theme for this coming year.

As one part of my contribution to this theme, I have begun to send out a weekly quotation from our leaders or from the scriptures pertaining to this subject. This blog will serve as a repository for these weekly emails and other thoughts I may be prompted to share on the subject.
