Perfecting the Saints — One Lesson at a Time
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…

I have decided to choose a base theme for the sites and make my life easier. At first I thought that I would have to create modules for each of my custom content types to give each type custom theming. I tried to write a module, and it proved too difficult for me. I just can not wrap my head around hook_alter or preprocess or pretty much any of these…

Like most YW leaders, you’re looking for Christmas Lesson Ideas for Young Women during the month of December. The 2010 Resource Guide gives this (not very helpful) advice: “Consider teaching lessons on the Savior during the Easter and Christmas seasons.” The 2008 guides read: “The manual does not include a specific Christmas lesson.

Well, it’s finally official! I was released Sunday as RS president. I’m not sure why it was emotional for me, but it was. I was delighted and relieved to pass on the responsibilities to Crystal M.

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).
