Primary Program Preparation - Blog Entry24 Jul 2007 08:51 PM Our Primary presidency in our branch also handed out CDs and has had limited success with them. They tell me that our kids are really the only ones that know the words. Honestly, the only thing I have been really successful with lately (thanks to our newborn) is just playing the CD - and the kids pick it up. I do try to encourage them to sing on the way to and from church. (I also put it on when they are fighting in the car, so we listen to it alot!) The Spirit of the Word of Wisdom - Blog Entry23 Jul 2007 07:25 PM Regarding the leadership being selective when it comes to getting a temple recommend: I have never been asked in a temple interview if I drink or smoke, but always if I am following the WoW. This more leaves it in your hands on whether or not you are - you have to check yourself. As Miriam's blog pointed out (way way back, LOL), there is more to the WoW than just tea, tobacco, drugs, and alcohol. These are just the more telling ones. I know that I am not eating as healthily (?) as I should be, although I am also not as bad off as most. This is one of those things I am working on correcting; sometimes harder than others. I need to eat more grains and less meat. Usually, this is especially prompted to me during a temple recommend interview, which I emerge from with a stronger resolve to improve my eating habits. I've also received encouragement from church leaders to improve this; I brought it up once during an interview. I think it counts, but I also think that there is a lot left to personal inspiration. I do think more folks need to study it in full, not just take it for granted; that would strongly improve the inspiration point. Is Your Family Time Disrupted by Summer? - Blog Entry15 Jul 2007 08:20 PM Not to mention vacation! Vacations and travel disrupt our family scripture study more than anything I know. Top Ten Ways to Know You're in a Small Branch - Blog Entry14 Jul 2007 12:07 PM Wow, visiting and you get asked to teach! They must really know you there! That's funny, Jackie! Thanks for reading & commenting! A Treat For Missionary Moms - Blog Entry14 Jul 2007 11:58 AM That is so wonderful! I think it truly shows how well we apply the gospel when we serve people we don't know and don't even really ever come in contact with. What a great way to show kindness! Priorities and the Gospel - Blog Entry14 Jul 2007 11:55 AM I've been thinking about just shifting over to Sunday night full time for FHE. I like the idea of having an activity on Monday; that was the biggest arguement against a complete switch. Hopefully by the winter he will be more likely to be home in the evening, and we can go back to a 'normalized' FHE schedule. Thanks for the comments! Your Ward Employment Specialist - Blog Entry14 Jul 2007 11:45 AM For those without a high school degree, the WES can also help obtain a GED. Top Ten Ways to Know You're in a Small Branch - Blog Entry12 Jul 2007 05:40 PM Thanks for following! Latter-day Saints call the whole denomination the "church", so our individual church meeting groups are either "wards" or, if smaller, "branches". Hmm, now I have an idea for next week's humor blog! ;) Joy and Sorrow - The Cost of Procrastination - Blog Entry10 Jul 2007 01:00 PM I am truly glad for her sake that her work has been done. I am also prompted to get moving! I plan on getting some names ready to go to the temple in the next week, before my in-laws are up for the summer. Worst-case scenario is we get a great deal of work done when we go to Atlanta for Christmas! 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 41 42 43 44 45 46 47 |
