Perfecting the Saints — One Lesson at a Time
This was a surprise to me — to see many of my characteristics summarized. Plus, it listed my weaknesses, too, and got them spot on. I thought this a useful tool for improving myself. Okay, so this is brusque huh. Maybe I’ll spiff it up later. ——————————- You are an ENTJ (Extravert, Intuitive, Thinker, Judger) ENTJs represent between 2 and 5% of the U.S. population. 1% female.

Saturday got off to a slow start, but we got lots done outside. I have the paint to finish up the porches, and we got all the final hardscaping done for the gardens. What a relief to have that finished! We used the leftover shingles from the house as weed barrier — silly I know, but at least it’ll be permanent. Jared finally got to work on shed, and he…

The kids and I went downtown today to do the newspaper’s Itty Bitty City hunt. It was fun, but cost me $100! We ate in a sidewalk cafe and then found some bargains at a store that was going out of business. So the free family fun was anything but free. I don’t feel badly about it tho. The kids had a good time, and it is nice for them…

The 2010 Primary Theme has been released: “I Know My Savior lives“. The new book is an improvement over years past — you’ll be excited when you see it! It’s written much like Preach My Gospel. Following is a preview of the monthly sections for the themes. I will post information below that relates to the theme as it becomes available. I Know My Savior Lives: Sharing Time and Sacrament…

My kids are slobs. It’s official. I’m a failure as a parent. Today was the first day the kids are out of school, and it rained all day (naturally). They played pretty well, but ate a whole box of cereal on my wool rug. I’ve been working on the website most of the afternoon. I’ve gotten the image nodes, document nodes, and comments displaying pretty cool. I should be able…

I spent almost 4 hours on Amazon.com today buying workbooks for the kids to do over the summer. Nearly an hour of that I spent splitting the order into 3 parts so that I could save on the 4 for the price of 3 promo. I saved about $16.00. Yes, I’m that tight. But it makes me wonder how others spend their time…… Today I got up, showered, fussed at…

Larry A. Hiller, “A Century of Missionary Work,” New Era, Jan. 2000, 28 The missionary message has not changed since the time of Joseph Smith. But missionaries and missionary life have changed a lot—especially in this century. Elder Scott DuVall, of Taylorsville, Utah, serves in Hyderabad, India. His maternal grandfather, Joseph Cummings, served in the Northwestern States Mission. The differences between their mission experiences are more than those between India…

Barbara Jean Jones, “A Century of Aaronic Priesthood,” New Era, Jan. 2000, 30 “It was quite a thrill to me when I was ordained a deacon and permitted to pass the sacrament,” wrote Rendell Mabey of his ordination to the Aaronic Priesthood in the early 1900s. Rendell was a typical Aaronic Priesthood holder of his day: he was born to an LDS family and lived in Utah all his life….

It’s been a day-with-the-church-friends kind of day today. Made phone calls this morning for random RS stuff, then did a little Mafia Wars (I’m almost up to 100 mafia members), went to the ward picnic, delivered treats from the picnic to Bertie (the dying sister), and then went to Emily’s to play Catan. We invited a fourth couple, Lynlee and David, for the first time ever and played teams. It…

While I am creating a new theme for MormonShare — one that will be easier to navigate — the menus will be messed up. Please be patient! Something better is coming! I have improved several articles, brought back the more idiot proof sub-sub menus on the left side for RS and YW (Primary is yet to come), FIXED THE YW LESSON PAGES, and have added a couple of new articles….

You know, I always think about Mary and Martha — one was the cleaner and the other was the let-it-go kind of personality. I am definitely of the let-it-go persuasion. I think this puts me in the minority of women. The past few weeks have been let-it-go weeks. While I feel like I’ve accomplished good things, I am still cranky that the house is a mess. Was cranky that the…

http://www.businessinsider.com/box-office-preview-star-trek-set-to-beam-… “Not totally sucking” helps Star Trek. Awesome title!!! This pretty well sums it up for me — for the past several years it’s been hard to be a trek fan. Star Trek was smelling like a dirty sock (courtesy of Brian Braga imo). Since the movie, I have been thinking I should send JJ Abrams a thank you. All I want it to say is “I’m not embarassed to…
