New Gadget!

I've added a new gadget off to the side to be able to post interesting links.

Holyfetch, which consists of interesting myths and urban legends that we've all heard before, from talk favorites to celebrities that are members. It's worth checking out.

The Jenny phillips sight has an area for free downloads in english and some foreign languages. If you looking for some church music, this is the place.

If anybody has some interesting links that are church related, send me an e-mail or post in the comments.

Sunday lesson and then some....

SUNDAY LESSON:
Today we had a great lesson given by Brittany F. all about the relief society, it's organization, and why it's important. It was lesson # 39 in the Joseph Smith manual and here is a quote from the lesson, Sarah Granger Kimball quoting the Prophet Joseph Smith: "I will organize the women under the priesthood after the pattern of the priesthood....The Church was never perfectly organized until the women were thus organized." -Quoted in Sarah Granger Kimball, "Auto-biography," Woman's Exponent, Sept. 1, 1883, p.51

Cookout at the Draytons:
There was a cookout this past Saturday at the Drayton's home before the RedHawk's game. Sister Drayton sent along some pictures taken at the cookout, feel free to share your thoughts about the cookout and game in the comments.
