Today we covered Matthew 4, the temptation of Christ. This has always been one of my favorite scripture stories. I'm not sure if it's because Jesus owns Satan so soundly or if it's that I feel like the temptations give an insight into the personality of the Savior... whatever it is, I always like this […]
I came down with a terrible sore throat and fever late yesterday afternoon, and so my husband subbed for me this morning in Seminary. The topic was the first of two sections of the plan of salvation. It was easy for him as a returned missionary to step in. I had already divided the board […]
Saturday was our regional Seminary training. As usual, the presentations were of varying value and interest, but I was glad I went. This time I took notes on my tablet using Evernote. I am in love with Evernote, I have to say. I also use the Swype keyboard, which makes note taking using a device […]
Wow. Yesterday was a rough day. I have not been sleeping well, and both Jared and I slept in and were several minutes late for church Sunday morning. I spent a few minutes after Sacrament talking with the other teacher. I had no idea the level of sacrifice he is enduring to teach Seminary. Sometimes […]
For the past several days we've had the entire family here for a reunion. Phew. Fourteen people running around here. It was fun. Due to the chaos, the only thing I got done Seminary related was to start work on the first few lessons for the first week of class. I'm not even done reading […]
I love the functionality of the new gospel library app, and I've been seeking my own holy grail of smart devices on which to run it. My husband bought me a Nexus seven as a surprise gift. It came in the mail yesterday. I'm writing this blog entry using Dragon dictation. Dragon is very accurate […]
Last week I read a blog entry from Leading LDS titled "What if Elder's Quorum was Forever Cancelled". It really got me to thinking about the meetings we hold in the Church. Would people have missed Relief Society if it was cancelled when I was president? How about now in Seminary? Do my students consider […]
I read in USA Today this article:http://www.usatoday.com/news/education/story/2012-07-03/religion-courses… It describes how students are allowed to receive credit toward graduation through released time courses. Wow. Of course the grading that equates to a high school course, I wouldn’t enjoy as much….. Tuesday I had my meeting with the SI representative and the new Stake Representative. They gave […]

The new sticker designs are here! I meant to order them two months ago and got busy with some other projects. I had initially thought they would be the first things I'd add to the new website, but unfortunately, that upgrade hasn't worked out. It's pretty much making me crazy. I am very excited about […]
