Whilst the boss was on the other side of my desk talking to me, I created the image below.  (Perhaps I should commence being a better assistant a.s.a.p.)

Education and Self-Reliance

I was asked to speak in my ward's sacrament meeting yesterday. I was given a week to prepare, and that was more than enough time to prepare a talk, especially given the assigned topic:"How the Pathway Program Can Aid in Self-Reliance" Initially, as it so often goes, I had one plan for the way to direct my talk. Then, with prayer and pondering, a different direction came to light. I like when that happens. I like knowing it's not actually all up to me. We still ended up going over a couple minutes in sacrament meeting. Here is the talk I tried to deliver. President Russell M. Nelson said, “Gain all the education you can. For us as Latter-day Saints, gaining an education is not just a privilege, it is a religious responsibility.”   I am an education missionary for the Church. With a lot of love, I’m going to talk to you about education and how furthering our educations can help us become more self-reliant. Elder Robert D. Hales taught, “Education prepares you for...

Three Attributes

I've been feeling a bit lousy about an Econ quiz I didn't do as well on today as I had hoped I would. Sigh. Then I received this wee bit of feedback from my Book of Mormon teacher. I wish every student would turn in work like yours! It is heartfelt and genuine to read. Keep it up! You do great work. Brady Nixon, Jun 21 at 8:21am Oh that feels so very nice! This is the work he was referencing. In the sermon at the temple, Jesus teaches us how to live a perfect, celestial life. Search through 3 Nephi 12 for three attributes the Savior discusses which you would like to improve in your life. Then discuss how each attribute would help you to be a better person. 1)       “And blessed are they who do hunger and thirst after righteousness, for they shall be filled with the Holy Ghost.” (3 Nephi 12:6) I’ve come to learn that I am somewhat of a seeker in life. I want to know things. I love learning. I’m okay with knowing the end of the book before I begi...

Family Trees

Image
Family trees are pretty darn cool.  It's really cool when you help put them together.  But they're even extra cool when they lead you to groovy discoveries about who your ancestors really are.  A few months ago I discovered that my ancestors were nobles & royalty.  Not too shabby.  I've known for a very long time that my American ancestors were here before there was ever a federal union.  But it wasn't until this past week that I realized I had true Native American ancestors.  I find it's especially cool to Google the name of an ancestor and come up with a LOT of info... even if a lot of that info is on Wikipedia.  Chief Powhatan, King Edward I,  and Clovis , are just a few names in my direct line of ancestors.  What I find particularly fun about this is that since I do love history, I was already quite familiar with their stories.  Well, at least I'm familiar with the st...
