We sure had a lot of fun this week in Media Reviews. Well, we always have fun, and this week was no exception. We started off with a review of “Embittered Justice,” the story of a woman who was accused of a crime she did not commit and could not get anyone to believe her. She was finally set free, but only after time in jail and in court. This is a story of how the justice system can sometimes fail. A fiction novel, it is based on a true story. What is America reading this month? Take a look … Continue reading →

We had some fun here in Movies this week. In case you weren’t able to join us, here’s a recap of reviews to help you decide which films you might like to watch.

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.

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 →

Thanks for joining us for our Movies Week in Review! We may just be able to steer you toward a film you’ll really enjoy. We began the week with a guest blog by Dale Harcombe, our Christian blogger. She shared with us one of her favorite films, “A Man Called Peter,” the story of Peter Marshall. He was an immigrant from Scotland who came to America and started his own small church, eventually becoming Chaplain of the United States Senate, but his way was not always easy. The movie is based on the book written by his wife – Catherine … Continue reading →

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 →
