For Strength of Youth Pamphlet Revised
Here is what the Church News has to say about it:
Today, youth.lds.org launched a newly updated version of For the Strength of Youth that addresses issues and challenges youth face today that were not specifically addressed in the previous version of the booklet.
“The standards have not changed, but times have changed,” said Young Women general president Elaine S. Dalton, explaining the update. “For the Strength of Youth has been revised to address the issues youth face today—to teach them the doctrine behind the standards and the promised blessings of obedience.”
For the Strength of Youth was last updated in 2001. The revised pamphlet will contain the addition of current prophetic counsel in areas such as the wise use of technology, virtuous thoughts, dating, the importance of gender roles, and preparation for the future.
Other changes of note include:
Young Men general president David L. Beck emphasized the value of this resource for youth, parents, and leaders as they strive to live faithfully.
“It is our hope that these standards will be thoroughly studied in our homes and in Church classes, and that the principles taught in them will go down into the hearts of the youth of the Church,” he said.
Language versions of the revised pamphlet will follow both online and in print as they are completed.
PS - Don't forget to enter the Giveaway below. It closes on Saturday morning and the chances of winning are looking pretty good right now. :)

Simple Christ-Centered Christmas Traditions
The First Presidency Christmas Devotional last night was wonderful. The music was beautiful and the messages were great reminders. If you and your family didn't get a chance to watch it you can do so HERE. It would make for a great FHE tonight. Also, a neat announcement was made and a new page born on lds.org with Bible videos to be added monthly. They are free to download and are a gift to the world. You can watch the video that was shown last night below:
The Christmas Devotional is such a simple way to remember Christ during the Christmas Season. A tradition that takes little planning, no running to and fro, and no gifts to be purchased.
I also thought I'd share two Christmas Traditions that our little family started this year. So I guess they are not techniquely traditions yet but I hope to continue them each year and turn them into traditions.
First, we put up this little tree next to our bigger tree. It was my husband and I's very first Christmas tree. Now it is our Service and Kindness tree. When I catch my children serving or being kind I let them pick out an ornament to add to the tree. Sometimes I send my 4 year old to preschool with service in mind and he'll come back and tell me something nice he did. It was been good. It's also nice to have a tree that is free for them to touch and move ornaments around on. :)
Then Secondly, we tweaked this idea from the Friend. We have this nativity picture hanging on the wall in our living room and each morning we are adding a star to the wall. We write something about Jesus on the star and tape it to the wall. By Christmas we should have one starry night. My son is already excited about putting the biggest star above the picture on Christmas Eve.
Our 4 year old (soon to be 5) has come up with things like:
Jesus helped people to see.
Jesus was crucified for us.
Jesus was born in a stable.
Jesus helped raise people from the dead.
And our 2 year old has said things like this (with a little help sometimes :):
Jesus hugs me.
Jesus loves me.
Jesus made animals.
Jesus holds me.
It has been a great way to keep us thinking about Christ every day this December. What are some Christ-Centered traditions that your family has?

What's The Book of Mormon All About?
LDS Church News had this to say about the special edition:
You can find the full article at this link.
"The special-edition Ensign and Liahona will be available for purchase Oct. 1 at Church distribution centers. A digital version will be available online at LDS.org on Sept. 20. Subscribers will receive their monthly issues as usual."
"Members are encouraged to use the special issue in two ways," said Elder Paul B. Pieper of the Seventy and executive director of the Curriculum Department. "First, members and missionaries should review it for their personal edification and to strengthen their testimonies. Second, they should share the magazine with others, including less-active Church members and nonmembers."
Here is a list of just some of the things you will find in this special issue:
- First Presidency message by President Thomas S. Monson.
- Visiting teaching message by Sister Julie B. Beck, general Relief Society president.
- A new full-color Book of Mormon timeline.
- Full-page artwork.
- Sheet music for a new Book of Mormon-themed song called "Two Thousand Stripling Warriors," with music by Janice Kapp Perry and lyrics by Bonnie Hart Murray.
- Tips on using mobile devices for scripture study.
- President Ezra Taft Benson's classic address — "The Book of Mormon: Keystone of Our Religion."
- A new Book of Mormon-themed Mormon ad.
- Tips on how to study the Book of Mormon
- A side-by-side comparison of doctrinal passages from the Bible and Book of Mormon
- Commonly asked questions about the Book of Mormon and corresponding answers.

New Videos Created from Friend Magazine Articles
So I was recently sent this short video from Sun Swing Media to review and share with all of you. They are a new company that is creating short videos based off of stories found in the Friend magazine. The video I watched is called, “The Decision.” It costs $1 to download and the money goes toward making the next short video called, “ The Do-Gooders.”
The video is about pornography and is geared toward young children. It is sad that it has come to the point when talking about pornography can’t be put off until older years but pornography is there and it is there early.
At first I wondered how young people would respond to the quite simple animations but I knew that the simple yet profound story-line would be perfect for young audiences. So I tested it on my 4 year old and I think his review is much more significant than mine. Although I must say that an article I read said it was geared more toward 6-12 year olds.
I started the video for my little boy and he immediately seemed engaged. Afterward, he instantly asked if he could watch it again. I played it one more time and then we talked. I asked him what the video was about and he answered “pornography”. We talked about what happened and he definitely recognized the good choice that the boys made in the film and how proud all of their parents were of them. After our short discussion he asked, “Could I watch it again sometime if I want to?” I said yes and told him that we could maybe watch it for FHE sometime and he said, “We should’ve watched that video last night for FHE.”
So if you can’t tell, my 4 year old seemed to enjoy it quite a bit and he seemed to comprehend the important principles taught in the video. I would recommend the video to anyone with young children.
Here is a small portion of the video:
You can download “The Decision” for $1 HERE.
You can learn more about Sun Swing Media HERE.
You can read the original story in the Friend HERE.
Sun Swing Media even has an FHE lesson plan you can use HERE.

I Finally Did It!
Yep, that's right I created my profile on Mormon.org. I am not quite done, I don't think. I think I will head back and answer a few more questions and add a few more stories, but it is there. And yes, this means my identity will be revealed, well at least a picture. Oooo, aaaaah! I know, I know, not that big of a deal but I have been pretty private thus far. This is a little weird for me. So enjoy! Now join me and create a profile of your own, you never know who it might help.

LDS Scripture Citation Index
Here is what the site says:
"This index links from scriptures to the general conference talks, Journal of Discourses speeches, and writings in Teachings of the Prophet Joseph Smith that cite those scriptures. So, for example, suppose you want to know who has cited 1 Ne. 3:7 in general conference; click on the Book of Mormon link at the left and scroll down to 1 Ne. 3; there you'll find the answer. Who has quoted Matt. 5:48? Use the New Testament index to find out.
We have indexed the scriptures cited by speakers in LDS General Conference between 1942 and the present, and those cited by speakers recorded in the Journal of Discourses between 1839 and 1886. The citations in Teachings of the Prophet Joseph Smith come from the special edition, Scriptural Teachings of the Prophet Joseph Smith, edited by Richard C. Galbraith and published by Deseret Book in 1993 (ISBN 0875796478)."
Wow, I am excited too look up some of my favorite scriptures and some of those scriptures that I just don't quite get and see what I can find.
Go check it out for yourself: http://scriptures.byu.edu/
Happy Scripture Studying!

Don't Let Your General Conference Air Seep Out!!!
Well, nope not this time. Not me. I want my air to continue to buoy me up and not seep out but expand and grow and make me better clear to that 6 month mark where I can receive another series of air to refresh and carry me along through another 6 months. Oh, you gotta love General Conference.
So how am I going to do this? I am finally going to officially join Steph over at Diapers and Divinity in her General Conference Book Club. She selects one talk each week and posts it on Sunday. You have all week to read it and leave a comment of your thoughts on her post and to read all of the wonderful and inspiring thoughts of others. So good. She already has week one up and rolling. What a great way to hold ourselves accountable for reading and to learn from others. I am excited.
And of course I have many goals derived through Conference that will hopefully keep my mind firmly and constantly on the messages given. Here are a few of my thoughts: Align my desires with my actions. Make a “to be” list and smaller goals to do and eventually become better. Serve. Serve. Serve. And involve my children in it. Read and Study all of the talks. Be more supportive to my husband and express my love more. Seek and prepare for personal revelation daily and willingly accept correction from the Lord and SEEK after it. Be more patient with my children.
How do you plan to keep General Conference alive over the next 6 months?
Here are a few General Conference links you may want to check out:
- If your wondering when all of the General Conference materials will be ready to delve into again you can visit THIS page which outlines all of the timelines for various types of media. I can't wait for the Ensign to come because I love a good, hard copy rather than a computer screen.
- The Church has also already come out with great highlights from the talks given that are wonderful for the youth. Direct your kids there if they want a refresher or to see some highlights of moments that they may have missed that might be uplifting to them.
- Also, I read this in the Deseret News and thought some of you may be interested: Mark Davies' "Corpus of LDS General Conference Talks" — found at corpus.byu.edu/gc — contains the 10,000-plus addresses given and more than 24 million words spoken during the past 160 years of semi-annual general conferences of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.The BYU professor of corpus linguistics has created the free-access, web-based database allowing users to quickly search conference talks from 1851 to the present day.

Turned it Off and a Light Bulb Turned On
Here are some of the many light bulbs that turned on in my TV-less head:
- Wow, do I seriously turn the TV on that much? I started noticing every time my thoughts turned to the TV and realized I would've turned it on now.....and now.....and now. Really? The kids are playing nicely by themselves...a few minutes of Mommy screen time. Folding laundry....a few more minutes of Mommy screen time. Or I need to get this done really quick...children screen time. Or I need to make a quick call.....a few minutes turned to full show of children's screen time. It really adds up, little by little and I was amazed at how often my natural tendencies gravitated to that little on button.
- I got a housekeeper. Seriously, push the off button on your TV for a week and watch your house whip into shape. It is quite amazing. My house is the cleanest it has been in a long, long while. Yes, I did have the motivation of guests coming on Friday but I also devoted more time to it without the distraction of the TV and the kids joined in as well.
- My kids are friends. They ACTUALLY like each other. Really they do. There were still moments of an 17 month old's squeals from a brother's "love" but they played together way, WAY more than I have seen them play, I think EVER. And they laughed. I loved running to a room filled with laughter to soak it in rather than running to rescue a little girl in tears. TV off meant for good old fashion fun for siblings (it also helped that their rooms were clean and the toys organized and ready for little hands and eyes to find them easily.)
- Did we really miss anything? Does it really matter that I missed watching Rachael Ray make her meal that looks yummy but I know I'll never make it? Does it really matter that I didn't see that cute craft on Studio 5 that looks awesome but again I wouldn't spend the money or the time to make it myself? Does it really matter that I didn't see some soon to be "idol" perform? Does it matter that my son didn't see Curious George get into trouble and somehow get out of it once again? Yes, actually it does matter. Why? Because all of that time was spent with one another and making our home a more enjoyable place to be. We didn't miss a thing.
- Conference is the best 8 hours of TV we could ever watch (more thoughts on wonderful General Conference coming soon in an upcoming post).
- Lastly, our TV world is about to go through a whirlwind of change. We haven't finalized exactly how it is going to pan out but big changes are to come and it will be good.
How do you regulate TV time at your house? What have you done to make sure it is not over-used? Have any of you gotten rid of your TV all together? If so, how did your children respond and how did your life change?

Our Kitchen Table is Getting Ready for General Conference, Are You?
In October we pulled our small kitchen table into the living room and let the fun roll. We had my little boy doing things from painting prayers rocks, to coloring the ties of the apostles and prophets, to playing with playdough, to playing general conference bingo. I had activites selected for different topics, prayer rocks were done while someone spoke abour prayer. Playdough was done while someone spoke about love and we tried to shape it into hearts. Etc. It was a successful experience last time around. He was entertained and yet he listened. I remember him shouting out "he just talked about Jesus", or missionaries, or anything that was on the bingo sheet. We even left the table there for our meals and our 3 year old, at the time, loved the fun change. It could get a little more interesting this time around since our 1 year old only has one nap now. Last time she went down around 10 and 2 and it was perfect so we shall see how this time rolls.
If nothing else our table is ready for its job. When I told my son that General Conference was almost here he got super excited and said something like, "so we get to bring the table in here and do tons of fun stuff". I hope I can pull something together that will hold that excitement and keep him listening and learning throughout the whole 8 hours.
What do you do to keep your kids and yourself glued to the TV and supping up every last morsel of general conference goodness? What General Conference traditions do you have?
Here are a few links that may help in your preparations:
- Sugardoodle.net has a ton of packets that they have created ranging from packets for Nursery aged kids to Adults (there are 7 different packets).
- You also may want to check out the regular General Conference page on Sugardoodle for activities, ideas, and printables that fit any conference session.
- On lds.org there is also a page that has printables as well as activities to do in this upcoming week to prepare your children for conference. Ranging from a printable bingo game to online apostle matching games.
- Deseret Book also has a packet that you can download.
- Mormon Share also has various ideas and printables.
- There is a nice article at Mormon Times that shares 10 ideas for a meaningful conference for children.
- About.com has a ton of activities and games.
- There also some fun ideas over at The Idea Door.

3rd Semi-Annual No TV Week
During our "1st Semi-Annual No TV Week" I realized many things:
- Many times when I turned the tv on there was something else that I should've been doing.
- I used the television as a babysitter way too often.
- I had my attention divided between the tv, the laundry (or some other task), and my kids rather than just being with them.
- The TV was my first go to when I was board, tired, or plain lazy.
- Having minimal external voices filling our home helped to prepare us to hear the word of the Lord at Conference.
So please, FEEL FREE TO JOIN US IN OUR
3rd SEMI-ANNUAL NO TV WEEK - March 27 - April 1
(Leave a comment at let us know if you plan to join in the fun,

And just in case you need even a little more motivation read these quotes from a previous post or click on the following links to read two complete posts:
I challenge us to change this stat within the walls of our homes:
"American children and adolescents (and I'd add some adults) spend 22 to 28 hours per week viewing television, more than any other activity except sleeping. By the age of 70 they will have spent 7 to 10 years of their lives watching TV."-- The Kaiser Family Foundation
And far too often those hours spent are in watching programs that are far from uplifting:
“Again I say, leave it alone. Turn it off, walk away from it, burn it, erase it, destroy it. I know it is hard counsel we give when we say movies that are R-rated, and many with PG-13 ratings, are produced by satanic influences. Our standards should not be dictated by the rating system. I repeat, because of what they really represent, these types of movies, music, tapes, etc. serve the purposes of the author of all darkness.”
-Elder H. Burke Peterson
What a bold statement that a lot of the media out there is "produced by satanic influences" and "serve the purposes of the author of all darkness". It is scary to think that we often are allowing satan to be our entertainer. We are allowing him to keep us company, to make us laugh, and to fill our minds with his filth. We must be so careful to not allow the rating system to determine our standards but allow our conscience and our personal standards to do so. And sometimes Satan is simply striving to make us idle away our time and distract us from what is most important.
TV, Television, the Tube, Flat Screen?
A Little Experiment
And while you're televisions are off you'll have plenty of time to prepare your family for conference. I will have a Pre-General Conference post coming sometime this weekend.

Did You Know That...
...there are opportunities to serve the Church online. In February I taught a lesson on service in Relief Society and while studying I found this great site that is linked to lds.org called Helping in the Vineyard.
"This Web site provides access to volunteer service opportunities of the LDS Church. Explore how you can contribute by browsing opportunities." You can do things like evaluate Church documents or participate in indexing for family history, among a few others.
What a great and simple way to serve right in our own homes. I hope you'll check it out!

Some Things To Check Out
- If you haven't checked out the new Mormon.org which has profiles of members you ought to click on over. You can read other's profiles and even add your own. What a great missionary tool. Check it out HERE.
- My son and I found a fun scripture site called Scriptures 4 Kids. It has 4 reading levels of Book of Mormon stories. Your child can read it on there own or they can click on a button and it will read it to them. There are also games and printable pages, etc. Check it out HERE.
- There is a wonderful scripture page where you can highlight and make notes online as you read. I haven't played around with this much myself but it looks like a really neat page and it is created by the Church. You can check it our HERE.
- I've posted some of these before but I thought I'd highlight it again just in case you've never seen these videos made by Mormon's Made Simple. They are great because they explain in simple terms things like missionaries, temples, our church services, etc. Check it our HERE.
- I am sure most of you have seen the Mormon Messages on youtube or the front page of lds.org but they are worth their own link so you can check out all of the wonderful videos that have been posted. Check them out HERE.
- The Church has come out with new mobile phone apps to help you study on the go. They have anything from reading, highlighting and making notes while you read the scriptures to Conference talks and church magazines. Check it out HERE.
- There are many new features on the Relief Society page. You can check it our HERE.
So there are quite a few links for you to check out. I hope you all find something you like or haven't used before. If you ever find any new or fun links let me know so I can post them. Thanks to a few of my friends for making me aware of some of these. :) Happy Sunday to you all!

Extending to Facebook
So I am not much of a Facebook person but I had a reader ask if I'd consider putting my blog on Facebook and well, I went for it. So if you are more into Facebook then into checking blogs then head on over and like Becoming LDS on Facebook. Currently the button is not working for the side of the blog so you'll have to go directly to the Facebook Page to Like it. I hope this helps some of you.

Create a Profile, Be a Missionary
The Church is changing mormon.org and there will be some new features. They are urging members to "create your missionary profile—an exciting new way to share the gospel". They were hoping to be up to 1,000 profiles by the end of May and I am not sure if they made it or not but I am sure they would love more people to join in.Here is what the site has to say about this new feature:
"Mormons come from diverse backgrounds and experiences who all share a deep commitment to Jesus Christ and to each other. The new Mormon.org is designed for visitors to learn more about members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Each profile is a collection of stories and testimonies from Mormons. Participation is optional, but you must be a member of the Church to create a profile. The profiles will be made public this summer when the new site will launch. English-only profiles will be available this year; other languages will follow after."
Check it out and creat your profile. I am excited to see the final product when it comes out.
