Writing attacks won't change anyone's mind; in fact, it often makes their belief in that stronger, as they start coming up with defenses. So instead, spend most of your article explaining what ... http://www.terriebittner.com/wordpress/wp-commentsrss2.php?p=47 http://www.terriebittner.com/wordpress/index.php?p=46 http://www.terriebittner.com/wordpress/index.php?p=46#comments Mon, 01 Sep 2008 23:06:51 +0000 General Primary! http://www.terriebittner.com/wordpress/index.php?p=46 Have you seen the new nursery manual? It's wonderful! The lessons are simple and perfect for toddlers. There is a handout for each lesson and it is a simple line drawing, inexpensive to copy. You could even hand-trace them. There are teaching tips and reminders of all the rules for ... http://www.terriebittner.com/wordpress/wp-commentsrss2.php?p=46 http://www.terriebittner.com/wordpress/index.php?p=45 http://www.terriebittner.com/wordpress/index.php?p=45#comments Mon, 21 Jul 2008 15:34:26 +0000 General http://www.terriebittner.com/wordpress/index.php?p=45 I am the literacy leader at church, and as part of that, teach ESL. Until a week ago, I had both beginners and intermediate students, but I now only have beginners. It happens that all my students are from Brazil, and I've started teaching myself Brazilian Portuguese. Here are some tips ... http://www.terriebittner.com/wordpress/wp-commentsrss2.php?p=45 http://www.terriebittner.com/wordpress/index.php?p=43 http://www.terriebittner.com/wordpress/index.php?p=43#comments Mon, 14 Jan 2008 16:34:18 +0000 General http://www.terriebittner.com/wordpress/index.php?p=43 This ten minute video from the Mormons answers some of the more common confusions many people have about the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. http://www.terriebittner.com/wordpress/wp-commentsrss2.php?p=43 http://www.terriebittner.com/wordpress/index.php?p=42 http://www.terriebittner.com/wordpress/index.php?p=42#comments Thu, 25 Oct 2007 20:29:54 +0000 General http://www.terriebittner.com/wordpress/index.php?p=42 The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is, I think, the only church that believes family life continues after death. And yet, of course, most people who've lost their second parent say, "At least Mom and Dad are together again." Planted deep in our hearts is a knowledge, even ... http://www.terriebittner.com/wordpress/wp-commentsrss2.php?p=42 http://www.terriebittner.com/wordpress/index.php?p=41 http://www.terriebittner.com/wordpress/index.php?p=41#comments Wed, 12 Sep 2007 10:51:45 +0000 General Living the LDS Life http://www.terriebittner.com/wordpress/index.php?p=41 I've been reading Chieko Okasaki's book Aloha again. One of the things she discusses is that we race through our days feeling fragmented because we have too many different types of things in our day and we're constantly switching identities--from mom, to cook, to church worker, to friend, and so ... http://www.terriebittner.com/wordpress/wp-commentsrss2.php?p=41 http://www.terriebittner.com/wordpress/index.php?p=40 http://www.terriebittner.com/wordpress/index.php?p=40#comments Wed, 25 Jul 2007 19:15:16 +0000 General http://www.terriebittner.com/wordpress/index.php?p=40 When I started out becoming a writer, several hundred years ago (my children still took naps!) I would try anything. I happily plugged away at any sort of writing that caught my fancy. If I wasn't any good at it, I didn't care, because I was just having fun.

Of course, my own ancestors aren't so happy, since I've neglected them for this, but at the moment, I'm in a county where some of my people lived. I don't think they were in this town, although there are some familiar surnames.
