1 Nephi 8:36

36  And it came to pass after my father had spoken all the words of his dream or vision, which were many, he said unto us, because of these things which he saw in a vision, he exceedingly feared for Laman and Lemuel; yea, he feared lest they should be cast off from the presence of the Lord.
     “feared”
            -a curious word to use… (think about it)… but perhaps not:  Lehi, after the firsthand experience of this vision, more than anybody would understand the reality of Laman and Lemuel’s situation.  How else would you describe your apprehension about one you loved with all your heart not making it back?  Is there anything worse than facing the serious possibility that one of those you love the most will be “cast off from the presence of the Lord”?
