Week in Review: December 17th – 22nd

We’ve had a great week here in LDS. If you weren’t able to join us every day, here is a recap. In “Dinner Discussions 2007 Week 46,” Miriam outlines everyone’s lessons and helps us stay on track. She also gives us a wonderful report on Elder Ballard’s talk “Faith, Family, Facts and Fruit” about the perceptions people have about the Church. Tristi continues to catch us up on the year’s course of study in Spencer W. Kimball’s lesson “We Should Be a Reverent People.” Do you have a favorite story from Church history?

The LDS Families Week In Review: February 25th – March 3rd

We have certainly had a prolific week here at the LDS Family Blog! The blogs have ranged in subject, covering nearly every aspect of the gospel. Let’s take a stroll through just a few of them.

In Divine Communication, we discussed how we can use sincere and heartfelt prayer to draw closer to our Heavenly Father.

Monday, February 19th: The week started off with a summary of the Sunday School lesson in Gospel Doctrine: An Overview of the Sermon on the Mount. Miriam then provided a fantastic FHE lesson … Continue reading

The Sunday Evening Review: January 21, 2007

We saw many changes in the homeschool blog this week. We said see ya’ round to Valorie, who is writing for another families.com blog, and hello to a brand new blogger, Karen. Keep an eye out for guest blogs from Valorie. We also spent some time visiting with bloggers from other categories. Our blogs meandered through different topics and issues in the homeschooling world, but for the most part, one good blog led to another. We started the week with a guest blog by Julie Gentry entitled Trusting Your Instincts: Know When to Say No in which Julie discussed how … Continue reading
