What's in a Name!?

The Family Motto

You may wonder why we have the name "TightDish" for our Blog...it seems kinda random, right? Well, it is the theme and motto of our home. Family Mottos are very special. For some it may be a funny phrase they try to live by, for others a deep rooted saying on a family crest and for others a simple little list of things to emulate. For our little family we chose a scripture that holds great meaning for our family.

"And they were built after a manner that they were exceedingly tight, 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."

Ether 2:17

A great people, the Jaredites, had to build barges to cross the ocean and were instructed to make them "tight like unto a dish" so that no water would leak in and they would be able to travel in safety. In our home and family we want to be very close. To have great bonds that can't be broken and to be protected from the things the world tries to leak into our families. There is no greater joy than having a family that is tightly knitted together in bonds of love. And so we choose to live our motto "Tight Like Unto a Dish" to remind us of the great importance of home and family! For there is no greater success than in the home.
