It's a new year! I've set a goal to add new content to the site each day of 2012. Most of the time I'll be blogging since I am blogging about my Seminary class, but on off days I will try to add some new content related to Young Women or Primary. I've been working […]
Do you know what you want to do tomorrow? What about next week? Or next year? The gift of making choices about what we will do is called agency. Heavenly Father lets us make choices. Our choices can help us or hurt us. When we use our agency to be obedient, Heavenly Father will bless […]
I think today we learned some stuff that got us thinking. I hope some of it stuck, especially for our young Aaronic priesthood holders. On the board I wrote "Why is it important that priesthood ordinances be performed by those who are clean inside and outside?" and "What happens if a priesthood ordinance is done […]
Seminary was canceled on Thursday due to the extreme flooding in the area. Since I do my lessons based on the reading that the kids are doing, we ended up skipping Exodus 29. Leviticus 1, 3, 4:1-22 Friday's lesson was on the symbolism of animal sacrifice in the Old Testament. The lessons in the manual […]
After this blog entry I'll be all caught up! Monday and Tuesday we spent reviewing what we've learned so far on Moses and making movies. The kids wrote out their scriptures which had to include: some scripture languagea power phrase (pretty much all of them forgot this) and had to be finished TODAY Last time […]
For the 10 commandments lesson, I wrote the following chart on the board: 1 - Deuteronomy 5:1-8 2 - footnote f, D&C 68:25 3 - footnote b, Mormon 7:7, D&C 58:30 4 - Exodus 31:12-17, Deuteronomy 5: 12-15 5 - Deuteronomy 11: 8-9, 17, 21; Helaman 7:24 6 - footnote a 7 - 8 - […]
I realized I was behind but wow..... 2 weeks! It's been so long now that I can barely remember what I did for Exodus 14-15. My lesson outline literally has 2 sentences and two scripture references written down. That's it. I know we started with having the kids write down something that was new or […]
The Thursday and Friday before Thanksgiving we covered the Passover in our Old Testament reading. I elected to put on an abbreviated Passover meal during Seminary to cement in my students' minds the symbols in the passover meal and meaning behind them, since we'll be referring back to them often during the next several weeks […]
The quarter is over -- report cards passed out, new reading charts distributed. I can't believe it's gone by so fast! I was talking about how much we've done so far, when Jared pointed out that I have only 3 quarters left. :-/ This week has been a short week because of Veteran's day and […]
My aunt went into the hospital on Friday, so I was with her until about 9 PM Friday night. On Saturday I spent most of the day making ear rings and other jewelry to sell at the craft fair for our Indian tribe this weekend. Sunday I goofed off in the morning and then went […]
