Author: Jenny Smith

Jenny Smith is a designer who started blogging in 2004 to share lesson and activity ideas with members of her home branch Mississippi. Her collection has grown, and she now single-handedly manages the world's largest collection of free lesson help for LDS teachers with faceted search. Her library includes teaching techniques, object lessons, mini lessons, handouts, visual aids, and doctrinal mastery games categorized by scripture reference and gospel topic. Jenny loves tomatoes, Star Trek, and her family -- not necessarily in that order.

This class could be all about making Danishes, delicate breads, braided cheese breads and other delicious delicacies that your average person doesn’t know how to make. Even though this is an interesting topic and a wonderful art to learn, the title caught your eye. […]

Sick of politics and hurricanes

Can't we report on anything else? I'm so sick of this blitz type coverage. We do still have a president, who IS doing SOMETHING -- even if it's stupid. Report on that. Congress continues to screw us. Report on that. Come on -- there MUST be something to report on besides McBama.

Is the End of Days coming?

Probably not: Look at these Hurricane Frequency and Earthquake Frequency charts. Though there *has* been an increase in some types of storms over the past decade, it’s because there was a decrease the previous decade. The data just doesn’t support it. Does the bible actually say things will increase before the end of times? If […]

Gay Marriage

I read the article in the Deseret News today regarding the Church's new document on Proposition 8, the California constitutional amendment proposing that marriage be defined as between a man and a woman.

A Day in the Life of a Relief Society President: Feeling RS’d

Website saga continues

I’ve made lots of progress today: finished tagging the entire activities database and uploaded all the Young Women articles. There were about 20 bad entries in the activities db, but I still ended up with 460. Now that they’re tagged, it will really make Jared’s job easy for the import. It took me about 8 […]
