Perfecting the Saints — One Lesson at a Time
Here’s the lesson report for Monday – Thursday this week. Exodus 1-2 Today we began the story of Moses and the Exodus. I debated for a while whether or not to focus this lesson in on courageous women or courageous people. I went back and forth for several days trying to decide whether it would come off too feminazi to focus in on just the courageous women…. Eventually I decided…

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 Election Day. Both of those are school hoidays here, and so we only teach 3…

If you get the reference in my title, you’re my new BFF. Okay, you’ll never get it. So I’ll just tell you. Amok Time was the name of a Star Trek The Original Series episode where Spock goes crazy with the 7-year Pon Farr, or Vulcan mating ritual. Tuesday’s lesson on Genesis 35 and 39 could easily have been named Amok Time instead of Joseph Resists Potiphar’s Wife. Tuesday was…

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 to Church, suddenly realizing I had a ton of stuff to do, including finishing up…

We started off by singing “Happy Family” from the Primary song book. I drew names out of the prayer bucket for us to use in singing until everyone’s name had been sung. It was silly, but Happy Family fit in with our lesson pretty well. In today’s Seminary lesson, Jacob and Esau reunite. We did a short exercise on what Jacob did to prepare for Esau to come, reading several…

So, the last two days have been a little rocky. Monday the kids were chatty again. Today they were droopy. It’s never in between, I guess. Genesis 25, Genesis 26 Today I based my whole lesson on the word flippant. I was pretty confident that most of my kids would not know the meaning of the word, but since it describes Esau so perfectly, I decided to use it. We…

Today we kicked back and just had a fun day. I didn’t assign any reading. To start off I read an article about a couple that died after 72 years of marriage holding hands. I just used it as a little devotional kick off for the day, reminding them of yesterday’s lesson (which apparently I didn’t blog about…). Mentioned that the key to success for this couple was not how…

Today I woke up in a panic — I was sure that today’s lesson was on Rebekah, and I wasn’t prepared. So I thought: “Meh, I’ll just fake it,” and went back to sleep. Yes, I really am that wicked. Then I woke up again a few minutes later worrying about Rebekah and what a bad person I am. And then I remembered that I was actually covering Abraham and…

I’m a little behind on my blogging due to our family vacation this weekend. We drove up to Shenandoah National Park for our annual weekend in the mountains. Yesterday I was so sore from hiking I could barely move. Normally I teach standing, but yesterday I had to sit for the whole lesson. OUCH. For our first hike this year, we hiked to Little Stony Man and around the ridge…

I warned my kids yesterday that I was supposed to have an observer from the stake in my class today, so they were giving me a bad time this morning. As it turned out, the observer forgot our appointment, and I was off the hook. Above you can see some caterpillars that look a lot like our Delilah. Our Delilah has a much uglier face, though. Today’s lesson went really…

GREAT NEWS!!! The county transportation department was able to find transportation on a bus for our kids, and now the Seminary students will be able to ride the bus from my house to school each morning! Now all the mommies have to do is get the kids here, and the kids’ ride to school is taken care of. What a blessing for the families! Brother and Sister Dingess brought over…
