Student Showcase

I have been so privileged this year to work with some AMAZING youth!  We studied literature and grammar (of course; I am an English teacher!), but our greatest learning came as we learned about the Laws of Thought.  

This was my first opportunity to really expound on these principles, and especially to try and explain them to youth.  But an amazing thing happened.  As we learned about the principles and as we read great books, we were able to see how these principles were present in everyday life.  We began to see how thinking according to these laws could benefit our lives.  Some of our favorite books of study this year were Anatomy of Peace and The Screwtape Letters.  Laws of Thought aplenty in both of these great works!

Our major project for the year was to learn about a Law of Thought, culminating in writing a blog article to these awesome students can begin to teach others what they know.  I hope they have learned as much from me as I have learned from them. 💗💗💗

A New Beginning

A couple of months ago I was preparing a Relief Society lesson on developing talents. As part of my preparation, I went to the Personal Progress manual, which was recently revised and updated, to see what it said about my lesson topic. It spoke of "reaching your divine potential," which is the greatest desire of my heart. But, alas, I never completed my Personal Progress. I was always active in church and in the Young Women program, but I never caught the vision as a teen of the blessing and benefit of Personal Progress. I had other things to do and focused on those things instead. Fast forward a few (okay, many) years, and now I wish I had put forth the effort to complete it. But more than that, I want the spiritual benefit of Personal Progress NOW, at this point in my life. I want to enjoy the structure of the program as I set and pursue goals. I want to learn more about my divine purpose and potential. I want to strengthen my testimony of Jesus Christ....

The Battle Raging for Our Minds

I had some amazing insights today that I wanted to quickly write. So this post is a bit hurried and not as polished as I usually like, but posting it will help me remember. And if you happen to read it, I hope you gain something from it as well. From my scripture journal: Amazing insights today! I read Alma chapter 47 and into chapter 48 today, and discovered something I had not seen before. Chapter 47 details how Amalikiah becomes king of the Lamanites. Specifically, I learned from the part about how he tricks Lehonti into giving him a position as second in command of the Lamanite armies, and then poisons Lehonti. We talk over and over about how Amalikiah lures Lehonti away from his stronghold and his fixed determination not to join with the rest of the Lamanite armies and fight the Nephites. And all those things are true. But like so many stories in the BOM, it has a counterpart. Lehonti’s fixed determination wasn’t enough. If he had such a fixed determination to not join w...

What Do I Have To Be Thankful For?

I have a favorite poem: Give thanks for dirty dishes, They have a tale to tell. While other folks go hungry, We're eating very well. With health and home and happiness, We shouldn't want to fuss, But by this stack of evidence, God's very good to us. (Anonymous) I admit, my kitchen is usually filled with piles of dirty dishes, and I don't usually feel very thankful for them. Instead, I tend to wonder how six people can dirty every dish we own in a single meal. But the fact remains, they wouldn't be dirty at all if I were not fortunate enough to be eating several times every day. So, if something as bothersome as dirty dishes is really a blessing, what other blessings in life could I be missing? Are there other things that I hate in life that are, in reality, blessings? Last week a pipe broke under our sink, and water sprayed all over the kitchen. It soaked the floor, the cabinets, and even made its way to the basement. All this while I was trying to get kids ...
