Perfecting the Saints — One Lesson at a Time
I just can’t do it all :) This blog is proof positive of that. The house has been cleaner, I’ve been making bread and cooking more often, spent the week of spring break working on the new website and keeping up with the kids’ stuff, but something had to give. Naturally, it was the blog, I suppose. General Conference I did do a review for general conference again this time….

I really love this song. I have loved it since I was a little girl. I like the image of holding my light in my hand for all to see. I started teaching this song about the middle of October. The first thing I noticed is that the …
I collected a TON of great Arise and Shine Forth quotes when I was creating the bookmark cards. These are helpful for talks, youth conferences, standards nights, and camp themes dealing with the theme Arise and Shine Forth in Doctrine and Covenants 115:5. I got all these by using http://scriptures.byu.edu/ Arise and Shine Forth Quotes The Lord’s people are a covenant people under solemn obligation to him so to live…

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…

This month’s National Geographic magazine has an article in it on the teenage brain. As the mother of a teenager and a Seminary teacher, I was interested to read what they said. Much of the information was not particularly new to me — this information on the developing teenage brain has been available for a while now. I first read about it in Yes, Your Teen is Crazy!: Loving Your…

Luckily I had taken some notes on the material while we were in Connecticut on Monday and had enough that I could teach. Plus, the kids…

I’m not as tired as I was yesterday — slept a lot better. I kept waking up during the night sure I was going to miss my alarm. Hopefully I will be able to sleep even better tonight. I didn’t mention it yesterday (because I thought it was not big deal), but I started out yesterday’s lesson differently than I had written. I mentioned that I had been on Facebook…

Church met only the first hour Sunday due to the hurricane. Several people didn’t show and we didn’t have enough for Primary to operate, so I spent the rest of the day visiting my students and their families. It was a really good thing to do. I don’t think doing those visits is something that would have occurred to me on my own, so I’m grateful for the teachers who…

My teacher friends gave me zillions of great ideas for use during individual lessons. I will go through my notes and try to list them here. This will follow the rough order that a class might take. Sign Ins DeAnn puts a table by the door of her classroom where students sign in each day. The table has a sign in sheet, pen, and clock on it. The sign in…

The new Duty to God booklet includes a section where Young Men are invited to Share what they’ve learned with a group. This is easily implemented into Seminary through a devotional period. Here’s how it should work. Give the boys the following instructions, which are adapted from the Duty to God booklet in the Spiritual Strength section: Review the list of the doctrinal topics you studied as a deacon [or…
