Church Schools, Institute and Your College of Choice

by Miriam Caldwell

24 Jun 2009 07:03 AM

Recently I had the opportunity to return and visit BYU again. I was fortunate enough to be able to attend and graduate from BYU, but it has been about ten years since I visited campus. I also recently had a conversation with some friends who chose not to attend a church school.

Last week, our stake held a career workshop. One of our stay-at-home moms came back revitalized. She confessed that she had always been nervous about jobhunting because she felt her resume to be weak. After the workshop, she realized her many strengths, proven both at home and at church.

Putting Your Goodies to Use

by Nola Redd

13 Aug 2007 07:00 AM

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.

If you've been reading my blogs for more than three minutes, you already know that I'm something of a techongeek. I'd like to share another great download spot, in case you have missed it - the church's website at www.lds.org.

This is the time of year when seniors are graduating from high school and preparing to go to college. In the church there are a lot of people who have a strong desire for their children to attend church schools (BYU, BYU Idaho, BYU Hawaii or the LDS Business College).

"Seek Ye Out of the Best Books"

by Nola Redd

16 May 2007 09:00 AM

As a confirmed bibliophile, I frequently find myself in search of books to devour. In fact, I was brought into the church through Gerald Lund's LDS series, "The Work and the Glory." Since I live on the east coast, that means my primary brick and mortar source for similar books is the LDS bookstore.

There have been many recent updates to providentliving.org. The church has recently issued two new pamphlets regarding provident living. The first is about food storage. Members are urged to store three months of food and then begin to work on a year's supply.

Sunday Student Preparation

by Nola Redd

21 Feb 2007 08:00 AM

Sunday morning, my Relief Society instructor announced somewhat sheepishly that she had prepared her lesson the night before. She then proceeded to read from the Teachings of the Presidents manual. I prepared myself for a long, boring lesson that I wouldn't take much from.
