I’m a Bit Confused as to My Point Here

Crazy Bus

Okay, so I’ve written the first post on the blog, which was supposed to say what this was all about. I’ve written the second post, which was a technical cheat sheet that I am now using all the time at work. The third post was a long post regarding my annoyance with (and rewriting of ) my primary lesson this week (still haven’t given it – I suppose I’ll say how it went on Sunday). Now I’m not sure what else to write about. I mean, what is the point of having my own space on the Internet? My sister has her blog which is mostly a combination journal/newsletter, but I’m not sure if that’s the route I want to go.

I’m not sure who is reading this blog, or who would want to since there’s not really an overall theme yet – like silly pictures or fun links. (more…)

Translating the Bible

I teach the 10-11-year-olds in my ward primary. This year’s course of study is the D&C and Church History. After reading a lot about Church History and Joseph Smith (including in the completely awesome biography, Rough Stone Rolling) I was worried before starting as to how I would be teaching the course.  Thankfully the lesson manual is written with a surprising amount of carefully chosen wording and nuance.  If you are a member who doesn’t know many details about Church History you really won’t  find anything in the manual troubling, and if you know a lot about Church History you’ll find that the lessons are carefully worded to consciously flow around controversial subjects.

In teaching I’ve never really had much problem with the lessons.  Until now. (more…)
