Every week, the Special Needs Blog Week in Review brings you a quick summary of each of the blogs that were posted here in the past seven days. It makes it easier for you to find out about the ones that you might have missed. The Special Needs Podcast Roundup went up on June 25, 2012. This week, I’d like to point out an episode of NPR’s “Weekend Edition Sunday”. The episode was called “Planes, Patience, and Slightly Kid-Friendlier Security”. This is a good one to listen to for parents who will be traveling by plane with their children this … Continue reading →

Sunday Travel Funnies: The Power of Prayer

On this day set aside for prayer and thoughtful reflection I thought it would be appropriate to blog about the way some people are combining God and travel. In St. Louis, Missouri a group of avid travelers will be offering two prayer services at area gas stations to thank God for lower fuel prices and to ask that they continue to drop. I’m not kidding. Darrell Alexander, Midwest co-chair of the “Pray at the Pump” movement, says prayer gatherings will be held tomorrow afternoon and evening at a Mobil station west of downtown St. Louis. Alexander says he and a … Continue reading →

Sunday Travel Funnies: Gas and Giggles

Yesterday my best friend called from Hawaii to inform me that a gallon of regular unleaded gas has now reached $4.50 in our hometown (that, and her son broke his arm at a local playground). The record breaking price of fuel is no laughing matter for families who live on a fixed income, but what might get a few giggles is the way some folks have been dealing with the financial burden. For example, in Arlington, Washington, staff members at a local dental office are switching from four wheels to four legs to save money on gas. According to reports, … Continue reading →

The Pets Blog Week in Review for November 5-11

What did Aimee and I write about during the first full week of November? If you missed a day, check out this installment of the Pets Blog Week in Review. Monday, November 5 Paying Attention When Pets Act Weird Murph was barking like crazy, the cats were acting wary…it was very suspicious behavior, which I try to pay attention to. In this case the animals tipped me off to the cops at the across-the-street neighbor’s house. Out on a Limp Aimee noticed some odd behavior with one of her dogs too. Moose developed a limp during their walks, one that … Continue reading →

Sunday School: Temple and Family History Work, “Temple Ordinances for the Dead”

The next section in our Temple and Family History Work handbook is entitled “Temple Ordinances for the Dead.” In this segment, we begin to discuss the importance of doing temple work for our kindred dead. Billions of people have lived on the earth since the dawn of time. Most of them passed to the other side without having the chance to hear the gospel, and some of them were your ancestors. As their descendants, it is our job to find them and submit their names to the temple so that they might have the opportunity to have their saving ordinances … Continue reading →

Young Women: 4 Ideas for Service Projects

So often when we think of service projects for young women to complete, the first thing that comes to mind is babysitting. In fact I have mentioned this service in quite a few blogs. However, I realize that babysitting is just not the right service for everyone to offer. I personally never cared for babysitting as a teenager, and I stopped by the time I was fourteen. Here are four service projects that a young woman could complete instead of the typical babysitting. 1) Often times the elderly could use help around the house or running errands. This is a … Continue reading →

Sunday, July 15 Marrying the Incarcerated is something many women (and some men) do. But when you meet someone after they already in prison, it can make building a lasting relationship very difficult after they are out … Continue reading →

Sunday Travel Funnies—-So Weird You Have To Laugh

Some obnoxious guy I met at a rest area in Omaha once told me that traffic laws were made for other people. I thought about him when I heard about the man in Utah who insists: “Traffic laws are God’s laws” and takes it upon himself to enforce them. According to Utah police, a local Church of Christ minister has been on their radar screen for a while ever since officers received numerous complaints that he made a practice of jumping in front of fast cars in his neighborhood, sticking brooms in their way and backing his own car in … Continue reading →

Small Acts of Service

Every day we are given small opportunities to serve those around us. This type of small service can make a big difference in someone’s day. It can also help you to feel closer to the Lord as you help His children. It is important that we look for these opportunities and take advantage of them. I have witnessed several small acts of service over the past few days. My husband just helped our neighbors load their moving truck. He went over and volunteered to help, when he realized that they did not have anyone to help them. We have spoken … Continue reading →
