BYU 2007 Education Week

As many of you may know this week was Education Week at BYU. This is a time when BYU hosts many workshops and inspirational speakers. The classes go all day long, all week long and cover many different aspects of life. People from all over the world attend this activity each year. It is a time to truly grow spiritually. Everyone should hear the messages, but not everyone has the opportunity to attend. Since the messages are so beneficial to the members of the church, you can watch rebroadcasts of a selection of the talks that are available. If you … Continue reading →

Do You BYU – Online?

Posted on by

Years ago, my husband and I made the switch from cable to satellite for two reasons. One of them – the primary one for my husband – was the BYU channel. Some time has passed, our lives have changed, we’ve moved, and satellite is not accessible to us. However, while we were trying to set up our computers to watch General Conference online this weekend, I learned something important – you can watch the BYU channel online, as well! There are two methods you can use; you can watch live TV or you can watch shows that have previously played. … Continue reading →

BYU Broadcast – What a Resource!

As much as I love the Internet and the possibilities it brings, I find myself constantly amazed at just how much stuff you can really find online. I knew about the church website, and the ability to download Conference and other talks (most notably the Relief Society and Young Women’s annual meetings). But a friend of mine recently clued me in on another site I hadn’t thought to seek out – BYU Broadcast. I actually went to the BYU radio page in search of the talks about Isaiah she had told me existed. But the more I explored, the more … Continue reading →

Putting Your Goodies to Use

Posted on by

Last week, we talked a little bit about some downloads available at the LDS website. The simplest and most obvious uses include saving them onto your computer, playing them on your MP3 player, or burning them onto a CD in your car. However, I’d like to suggest a couple of alternate uses. Traveling magazines on CDs for your kids – Recently, with all of the traveling we do, I’ve been getting books on CD for my children to listen to in the car. I was amazed last week to realize that the Friend was downloadable. Since we already subscribe to … Continue reading →

Church Interactive Music Player

Posted on by

Did you ever have a hymn that you just couldn’t seem to master? Maybe you don’t know how to read music and could use some guidance on when to sing each note. Or maybe you don’t know the words at all, and want to practice. Perhaps you want to encourage your kids to prepare for the Primary program in a few months. The Interactive Music Player, found on the church website, is a great tool to help you with your hymns. To locate the player, go to the church website and select ‘gospel library’. Select ‘music’ from the dropdown menu, … Continue reading →

Christmas in June!

Posted on by

Last week, I felt as though Christmas had come six weeks early. I received a large package from the LDS Distribution center, and couldn’t wait to tear it open. Now, I’ve already told you that I am a manual nerd, so it shouldn’t surprise you that this was a box of manuals for my calling (good news; I’ve already gotten some ideas for future blogs after reading only one manual!). When I was first called into the Relief Society presidency, and my husband as the Sunday School President, we each received only one thin manual. At the stake Relief Society … Continue reading →

Relief Society To Go!

Posted on by

In the past, I’ve talked to you about burning Primary songs and General Conference talks to your computer, and then to a CD. With the update of the church website, there is a new item to add to your computer – Relief Society and Elder’s Quoroum! If you find yourself often unable to read the lessons, consider putting them on a CD and listening to them on the road. This is what my husband does. He is currently working 12 hour days in a very physical job. It is becoming increasingly difficult for him to fit in time to prepare … Continue reading →

Chapters and Verses in the Bible

Posted on by

I referred you to BYU broadcast a few months ago, and I would like to now share something with you that I learned from a recent talk. The talk, entitled “Books, Paragraphs, Chapters, and Verses in the New Testament,” was given by David R. Seely during the Sperry Symposium. It was a bit difficult to follow because the speaker obviously had handouts to illustrate his point. Also, it was very academic and a touch dry. However, there was one point that really stuck out to me. The point that Seely made was that the verse and chapter breaks we have … Continue reading →
