Why I’m switching from Drupal to WordPress

January 5, 2015

The post Why I’m switching from Drupal to WordPress appeared first on Jenny Smith’s Awesome Mormon Stuff.

Despite years of fighting with Drupal to try to speed it up, I’ve just never been able to get things going fast enough.  We tried everything — even paid for a second file server for downloads — to try to handle the load.  Never could do it.  A few months back I decided to switch […]

Primary 7, Lesson 2

January 5, 2015

Jesus Christ Volunteered to Be Our Savior
This is one of my favorite stories about Jesus Christ and all He did for us, it’s just a great analogy.
(Story included in download as a handout to glue in notebooks)

As I finished washing the dishes, I glanced out the window and saw my 
eight-year-old brother dangling a long pole in the swimming pool. His 
tangled brown hair hung in his eyes, and his clothes were splashed with 
water. He always managed to avoid helping with the chores, and today was 
no different. I watched as he carefully steadied the pole in the water, lifted it, 
and tapped it on the concrete deck.
“What’s he doing?” I wondered. I decided to go outside and see what
 time-wasting activity had kept him from helping me.
“What are you doing, Ben?” I asked as I walked over to where he stood.
“Saving bees,” he replied. I could now see that each time he steadied the pole, 
it was beneath a bee. He then lifted the bee out of the water and placed it on 
the warm concrete to let the bee dry its wings and fly away.
“But some of them won’t hold on,” he continued. “I try to save them, but they
 just keep trying to swim and won’t grab the pole.”
“Great,” I thought. “One less bee to sting me.” I began walking back toward
 the house, determined to waste no more of my time.
Then Ben spoke again. “It’s like Jesus,” he said.
I stopped and walked back to my little brother. “What do you mean?” I asked, 
confused by that comparison.
“I try to save the bees from drowning, but they have to choose to grab the pole.
 I can’t force them,” he explained. “And that’s like Jesus and us. He wants to 
save us, but we have to choose to follow Him and accept the Atonement. Hed
 can’t force us.” And with that simple analogy, Ben went back to saving the bees.

Included in the PDF download is a printout for the scripture John 15:13, full sheet questions, Saving the Bees story(sheet of 4) and the Plan presented handout (sheet of 4). The sticker label sheet is a Word doc and can be downloaded right above the preview for the full sheet questions.

Doctrine & Covenants/Church History 2015-01-04 10:28:00

January 4, 2015

 I brought in my son’s mission calls and passed them around. Most of them in the class had never seen one before. They loved looking through them.

I made small suitcases and gave one to each of them…caution, the girls LOVED them, the boys not so much :)
They were to copy down in their suitcases what to pack and what to leave behind.

I asked the question, “What is a missionary supposed to pack?”

Then I asked “What should a missionary leave behind”
I was looking for “sin”
To help students understand why it is important for prospective missionaries to repent of their sins,  we read aloud the following statements by Elder Jeffrey R. Holland of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles

“In this battle between good and evil, you cannot play for the adversary whenever temptation comes along and then expect to suit up for the Savior at temple and mission time as if nothing has happened. … God will not be mocked. …

“… The Lord has drawn lines of worthiness for those called to labor with Him in this work. No missionary can be unrepentant of sexual transgression or profane language or pornographic indulgence and then expect to challenge others to repent of those very things! … The Spirit will not be with you, and the words will choke in your throat as you speak them. You cannot travel down what Lehi called ‘forbidden paths’ [1 Nephi 8:28] and expect to guide others to the ‘strait and narrow’ [2 Nephi 31:18] one—it can’t be done” (“We Are All Enlisted,” Ensign orLiahona, Nov. 2011, 45).

Elder Holland:

“Whoever you are and whatever you have done, you can be forgiven. Every one of you … can leave behind any transgression with which you may struggle. It is the miracle of forgiveness; it is the miracle of the Atonement of the Lord Jesus Christ. But you cannot do it without an active commitment to the gospel, and you cannot do it without repentance where it is needed. I am asking you … to be active and be clean. If required, I am asking you to get active and get clean” (“We Are All Enlisted,” 45).

January 3, 2015

As people all over the world make New Years Resolutions, you might want to make some with your Primary.   Make and draw strips with the following resolutions and/or others you might think of.  As the children draw a strip from the hat, read the resolution and see if they can think of one or more songs that relate.  My suggestions are written below.  At the end of Singing Time, ask the children to choose two or three of these resolutions to adopt as a group for 2015.
