I have been performing as a puppeteer and storyteller on a regular basis for about six years. I love children’s stories and spend a lot of time think about them and adapting them into puppet scripts for our shows. I am concerned about the stories we, as a society, are telling our children and I want to make some observations about content.

Favorite Scripture: D&C 123:11-17
I figured it would be nice to have a bit of scriptural commentary on the blog. Initially I don’t want to delve into the more boring close readings, but simply scriptures that have touched me and that I keep returning to time after time. You can consider this a weekly column on my part. Well, at least until I get through all my favorite scriptures. This week is probably the scripture I turn to the most, D&C 123:11-17.
Around the Net…
I thought it might be nice to have an “around the net” listing interesting links of the week. I know Times and Seasons has their sidebar with good links. But there are always a few articles that deserve a bit more comment than just a link.
Teaching the Saints II
Last week I discussed a little bit about teaching and gave six points I thought caused problems and that we could improve upon. A few of my suggestions, such as limit the crying, generated a bit of controversy. A few thought that I was intimidating those called to be teachers who were feeling inadequate. Well, if you thought those were controversial I’m sure my next few points will be even more so. My last post was primarily about the style or form of our teaching. This one focuses in on content. That is, things you probably ought not mention in your lessons.
