Other models of pondering: Joseph Smith. How many sections of the D&C are due to pondering scriptures or pondering questions from others?

There are two times each day that I’m nearly guaranteed good pondering time. It’s when I walk to work and walk home from work. It’s 15 minutes of relative peaceful time (easy in a small town in the middle of nowhere). I can’t read anything while I’m walking, so I’m at the mercy of my memory (or hopefully the Spirit) to remember scriptures and whatever other thoughts come to mind. It kind of works in the car as well. My car’s radio has a short in it, so if I want music, I have to actively push the control panel in to complete the circuit. I don’t do that very often, but prefer the quiet time of driving. This allows time to ponder. Both driving and walking turn into activities that don’t require a lot of effort (granted that traffic isn’t too awful) and I think that gives me a good time to think.

If I sit to ponder, I usually end up having dreams, but not the Lehi type of dreams.
