Small and Simple Things

Anatomy isn't something I usually think about when I see the Education In Zion exhibit. However as I have had mid-terms and other school related things, I have been thinking a lot about my favorite scripture Alma 7:6-7 where it is says, "by small and simple things are great things brought to pass." This has especially come to my mind in regards to anatomy. As I have learned more about our bodies I have applied this scripture to my studies. There are so many things in our bodies that have the simplest operations but without them our bodies couldn't function. It is truly amazing how the body functions in its most complex way by all the little aspects of it coming together.
It has been a great experience to study the human body in the amount of detail that we have been able to. It is due to this detail that I applied my favorite scripture to this part of anatomy. It is by studying the small and simple things every day that we are able to understand the intricate parts of the human body. Towards the beginning of the semester I wasn't doing very well in remembering the parts of the human body for anatomy lab. Then I started doing more small things every day and then I saw a huge improvement in my understanding of everything.
It is examples like this that the Education In Zion exhibit is all about. A quote from the exhibit says, "We move forward faithfully into the future only by understanding our past." Education has always been an important aspect of our church. From the beginning, Joseph Smith made sure that it would be. And ever since then education has continued to be one of the greatest traditions of the church. The Education In Zion exhibit is an excellent example for us to study and learn from. As we continue in our various specialties of schooling, we need to follow the example our ancestors have laid for us in obtaining the highest educations possible.
