Drawings

A while back, I was talking about adding drawings to my studies, and over the last few months, as I have been studying the Old Testament, I have been drawing things in the margins, especially things that add to the understanding of a concept or definition.  Here are a few examples:

As we have been going through the lessons in Seminary, I have been adding drawings of the things that we are learning about.  The Tabernacle, for example.

Two weeks ago I got a wild hare to get much more decorative with my drawings and I have been having so much fun!

Again, I can't say enough about the wide-margin scriptures that you can find at www.bradjackman.com!  Having all that beautiful space to draw is wonderful! I am looking forward to continuing this as I go through all the standard works.  It is giving me a lovely outlet for my creativity, and my stress! :)

#ASaviorIsBorn

The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints has created a beautiful new video for the Christmas season called A Savior Is Born.  

Along with the video is a media campaign, using the hashtag #ASaviorIsBorn.  I used the video and the signs in my Seminary class, and I loved the phrasing that the students used!

A Savior is Born so I...

                ...could repent        ...could remember Him always

                                 ...could live with my family forever

...can be full of peace and happiness  
                          
                     ...could live and have a family

                                                            ...can repent and live forever

Aren't those wonderful, faithful answers?!  I love these kids so much!

This is mine:

In this world of turmoil and stress and distractions, I am grateful for my Savior, Jesus Christ, and the peace that His gospel and the blessing of His atonement bring to my life!
