LDS Week in Review – May 19th – 24th

Did you miss some of our blogs here in LDS this week? Never fear—this summary will get you caught up to speed. We began the week with a closer look at the fifth commandment, which tells us to honor our parents—they have sacrificed a lot for us and can also be good sources of counsel and advice for us, no matter what our age. Keep on track with the lessons at church with this week’s “Dinner Discussions,” and in “Concern for the One,” we read of Joseph B. Wirthlin’s conference address which reminds us of the need to be there … Continue reading →

Life just keeps getting busier! If you weren’t able to join us throughout the week, here’s a recap so you can keep up-to-date on all the great blogs here in LDS. We started the week with “Gospel Questions: What About Those Latte-Drinking Mormons?” A non-member friend of Tristi’s asked her why Mormons can’t drink coffee, and yet, some of them do. We learn about the Word of Wisdom and also a little bit about hypocrisy. We got caught up to speed with our lessons in this week’s “Dinner Discussions,” and then Tristi answered another question from her non-member friend in, … Continue reading →

LDS Week in Review – April 28th – May 3rd

Did you have a good week? We did here in LDS! If you didn’t have a chance to stop by, here’s your week in review so you can see what we’ve been up to. We started the week with “When Loved Ones Apostatize.” We’re counseled not to sympathize with apostate groups, but that doesn’t mean we have to turn our backs on family members or good friends who have chosen to leave the Church. In “Living a Life without Regret,” we talked about the importance of our daily decisions and how we can choose according to our consciences so we … Continue reading →

LDS Week in Review – April 21st-25th

In case you were too busy this week to join us in LDS, here is a summary so you can get caught up. We began the week with a continuation of the Scripture Study Series, 1 Nephi 16:1-6. Tristi reminds us that her thoughts as she reads the scriptures aren’t meant to be the definitive answer, but rather, a jumping-off point for our own thoughts and our own personal revelation. Miriam reminds us to “Focus on the Scriptures with Your Family.” She loved reading Old Testament stories as a child, and now shares scriptures with her own young ones. She … Continue reading →

LDS Week in Review – April 14th – 19th

We had a wonderful week here in LDS. In case you missed it, here’s a summary. We began with a review of Elder Russell M. Nelson’s conference address, “Salvation and Exaltation.” He explains that Christ saved us from physical death through the resurrection, but we must choose whether or not we want to be saved from a spiritual death, the overcoming of which is also made possible through Christ. We are kept on track with our weekly lessons in “Dinner Discussions,” then Miriam begins a series based on Elder M. Russell Ballard’s talk “Daughters of God.” The first blog in … Continue reading →

If you weren’t able to join us here in LDS this week, do not despair! Here’s a listing of all the blogs posted throughout the week so you can get caught up. We began our week with “Food Storage . . . in a Trailer?” Tristi looked into unusual places to store food and the ways in which we can keep this important commandment even when we’re short on space. “Choosing Not to Take Offense” reminds us that while we can’t choose the things others may say to us, we can certainly choose how we will react to them and … Continue reading →

LDS Week in Review – March 24th – 29th

Life never seems to get less busy! If you were too swamped to join us here in LDS, here’s your chance to get caught up. We began with an article from Miriam entitled, “Food Storage Items Available Online.” She tells us about the things she found at the Church’s website, including a pamphlet that tells us how to cook the foods we’ve purchased. It’s important that we remember to include foods to flavor our grains and that we not purchase items that family members may be allergic to. At the same time, we can prepare for our spiritual droughts by … Continue reading →

I hope you all had a great week – we sure did here in LDS. Here’s a quick recap of the blogs we brought you. We began our week with another installment in the Senior Missionary Series, this on “Talking with Your Bishop.” After you’ve made the decision to serve, you’ll meet with your bishop to discuss your plans with him and to be interviewed for worthiness to serve that mission. We then read about the Joseph Smith lesson in our 2008 manual on “Repentance.” “Incorporating Gospel Teaching into Daily Life” sympathizes with all us busy parents who struggle to … Continue reading →
