Seminary Mom is big on hands-on activities, something I think is very important. Here are a couple of her ideas for using art to teach different messages in the scriptures: Principles to Live by (Helaman 15-16) Malachi 3 Principles to Live By Today our scripture block was Helaman 15-16. Using the manual I introduced several […]
I didn't get to tweet as much for general conference this year as I did last -- spent the day Saturday working on the websites, and then discovered late that evening there was a conference in New York I should be at, so I spent this afternoon traveling by bus to the Big Apple. I […]
This is part of an email I sent out with our ward calendar as a general conference report. I'm copying it here because of the social networking links. I'm going to take a bit of liberty and make a General Conference report here -- not on the talks -- but on how the Church is […]

I was sitting in Church on Sunday listening to a great talk -- seems like it was LaRene's -- and it occurred to me that a weak testimony could be founded on ideas and understanding of the relationship they have with God on His tender mercies, instead of the gospel plan. When we first moved […]
The webpage just keeps getting better and better! The new theme is now tweaked to suit my purpose, and I will say it looks very good. I've started adding the new products -- now all that's left is the bracelet kits and balloons. I got the charms up yesterday. (Man, that took forever.) I am […]
Bishop told me in my PPI Sunday that I am about to be released in a couple of weeks. He even asked me for my ideas on who would make a good replacement. Huh? It was kind of weird. I almost wish he hadn't told me, because now I'm having trouble focusing on the calling. […]
I got back to the gym today for the first time in ages. I bet it's been 2 months. Things have been crazy in the mornings here, and I was excited to get things straightened out so that I could go again. Of course, it didn't hurt that I finally found the keys that had […]
