 About This Blog A blog about my life, universe, etc. At any given time you might find something endlessly interesting or just me ruminating on something else, which no one (not even myself) finds interesting. That's the way blogs go, I suppose. Anyway, I was eleventh in line, and you weren't. Hah!

Well, if I know it's there, anyway. -- Once I've posted something, I will not make substantive changes to the body of the post. Any changes will be noted with an "EDIT" tag at the bottom of the post in question, or will be noted in a subsequent post. Typos, stylistic errors, and link updates will occur, without time limit (though if it's been a while, I'll let you know). If I really really regret a post, it's likely I'll post about cats or something for a while in pennance. You've been warned. -- If I find something through the efforts of another blogger (in fact, of anyone I can link to), I'll credit them with a link (the style of such a link is pretty much up to my mood, so don't expect consistency in that area). -- My comment policy is listed below. Comment Policy I like comments, and I'll keep them activated. HOWEVER, if you want to start a flamewar, go somewhere else. If you want to get me to start arguing with you about Ohio State vs. Michigan, whether Mormons are Christian, how stupid being spoiler free is, or pretty much anything else inflamatory (inflamatory is in the eye of me in this case -- if you don't trust my judgement, too bad), go somewhere else. All links to pornography, all instances of vulgar language, and anything else I don't think is appropriate for my sisters, brother, neice, and nephew to see (ages 1-18), or quite frankly appropriate for ME to see, will be edited as I see fit (probably with links to something else, or alternate words, or what have you). All spam comments, including blatant off-topic self-promotion, will be deleted. If you've been banned, feel free to email me; if you're uncivil, please know that I'm interested in finding out exactly how many people I can add to my killfile without bringing my processer speed to zero, and don't mind using your address in my experiments. I reserve the right to delete and/or ban anyone I want. If you need to say it that badly, go get your own blog. They're free, you know. A Note About Chatting and Emails I'm not what you would call an extremely social or extraverted person. As a matter of fact, I tend to test 100% introvert on Myer-Briggs and other personality profile tests. Therefore, please be aware that most of the time, if I don't already know you (either in person or through weeks/months/years of email contact) the chances are I won't be very talkative if you IM me. I like having a long time to consider what I say, and that goes double for what I say to total strangers. Please don't think me scary, rude, hateful, or even just someone in a perpetual bad mood, if chat efforts are unsuccessful. Quite frankly, it's probably better for you to go find someone else to chat with, unless you have something significant to say. And if it's that important, you should probably email me. Which reminds me to let you know now that if you do choose to email me, it might be days, weeks, months, years, or never before I email you back. It takes a lot of energy for me to come up with replies to random inquiries from strangers, and most of the time there's something I'd rather be doing instead. Your understanding is appreciated. I'm not saying don't try, I'm just saying -- have minimal expectations, okay? Thanks. Oh, and if you DO know me, don't treat this statement as an excellent excuse not to talk to me. You know who you are.

Oh, Come With Me to Primary! I found out yesterday that I will definitely be teaching the Book of Mormon this year to our ward's eight-year-olds (well, half of them.) I'm very excited - through a confluence of circumstances, I've always missed the Book of Mormon courses in Seminary and Gospel Doctrine; I've always studied the Book of Mormon on my own. So, I'm going to be collecting links and creating activities for my own class, and thought, hey, why not publish them here on M*, too. For those who don't know, this will be my fourth year of teaching in Primary. Let me also take the time out to put in a plug for the Senior Primary teachers' group on Yahoo. It's quiet now, but hopefully it'll pick up soon. FYI, the theme for the year is "I Am A Child of God;" I usually do some activities based on the yearly theme as well as the monthly themes, though I don't have any in lesson #1 because it's a big topic. But don't be surprised to see some of that sprinkled in there in the future. Oh, and the future weeks will be better, as I'll have, you know, time to do them. ^_^ Anyway, on to the stuff I collected. 2008 Senior Primary (Book of Mormon) Lesson #1: The Book of Mormon, a Gift from a Loving Heavenly Father Church-Approved Materials - Related Gospel Principles Chapter: Scriptures - Guide to the Scriptures Entry: Book of Mormon - Our Heritage Entry: Establishing the Foundations of the Church - Related Gospel Doctrine Lesson: #1, "The Keystone of Our Religion" (Class Member Study Guide) Useful Articles from the Friend: -- Mormon & the Book of Mormon (a short explanation of the origins of the Book of Mormon) -- Make your own plates (shows the children clearly the parts of the Book of Mormon and who wrote which plates.) -- What Happens in the Book of Mormon (I will be using this to help the children build our first timeline project) Outside (non-official source) Stuff PDF Activities & Helps (made by me, hosted on my Geocities site till we have a spot for them here) -- Memorization Activities: Moroni 10:4, 8th Article of Faith, Joseph Smith quotes -- Supplemental Activity Ideas: Hardships (matching hardships suffered by various prophets who helped bring the Book of Mormon to us;) Who Did What (matching Book of Mormon names to what they did;) Righteous or Wicked (I say, e.g., "King Noah," they say "wicked.") Outside Resources: (not made by me) Book of Mormon map (just shows where things are in relationship to each other.) Book of Mormon timelines Note: For the first few months of 2008 I will be attempting to follow the following schedule, publishing each lesson help file about two weeks before I will be teaching that lesson to my class. Our Stake Conference is always two weeks after General Conference, but given that my job as a Primary teacher is actually easier in those weeks, I will probably take the opportunity to get ahead and thus compensate for the weeks where I have to prep our class Sharing Time in May (and later, in November.) This week - Lesson 1: The Book of Mormon, a Gift from a Loving Heavenly Father This week - Lesson 2: Nephi Follows His Father, the Prophet This week - Lesson 3: Obtaining the Brass Plates Jan 13 2008 - Lesson 4: The Tree of Life Jan 20 2008 - Lesson 5: Lehi and His Family Are Led through the Wilderness Jan 27 2008 - Lesson 6: Heavenly Father Commands Nephi to Build a Ship Feb 03 2008 - Lesson 7: Crossing the Sea Feb 10 2008 - Lesson 8: The Prophet Jacob Is Confronted by Sherem Feb 17 2008 - Lesson 9: Enos Prays Feb 24 2008 - Lesson 10: King Benjamin Teaches His People Mar 02 2008 - Lesson 11: Abinadi and King Noah Mar 09 2008 - Lesson 45: The Book of Mormon Is a Witness of the Resurrection of Jesus Christ (Easter) Comments and suggestions are always appreciated!

Great blog. My hat's off to all who teach primary.
Post a Comment
I'm currently writing a commentary on the Book of Mormon, most for my own consumption, but I started sharing some of it on my blog. If you're interested, I see that you have lessons on the tree of life and Enos. I have comments about both of those subjects posted. You might find them helpful, you might not. Best of luck teaching your class this year. Because only so many people can be eleventh in line.
