	<title>Comments on: “Chapter 29: Living with Others in Peace and Harmony,” Teachings of Presidents of the Church: Joseph Smith,</title>
	<link>http://weseekafterthesethings.blogsome.com/2009/03/06/p45/</link>
	<description>Joseph Smith, sent a letter to John Wentworth explaining the history and Faith of the Latter-day Saints.  It included what has become The Articles Faith,  and this blog is about number 13;  We Believe in Being, Honest, True, Chaste, Benevolent, virtuous, and in doing good to all men;  indeed, we may say we follow the admonition of Paul- We believe all things, we hope all things, we have indured many things, a;nd hope to be able to endure all things.  If there is anything virtuous, lovely, or of good report or praiseworthy, we seek after these things.  This will be a place to insipre, edify, strenght and enourage us to seek for the Good things, in the scriptures, in our surroundings, and how we apply this in improving our Daily lives.  Let us all Seek After These Things!</description>

					<description>One more thing JoAnn, 
This question and the thoughts after it were my ideas.  The inspiration given to me as I pondered what it meant to be a peacemaker.
I had many ideas and good conversation as we discussed this in my class.

What does it mean that the Peacemakers shall be called the Children of God?
1. The light from the Father will be granted to this children that live in a peaceful manner, and will find happiness.
2. Dwell in unity with the Father


Often ideas in parenthesis are to remind me to mention something if it is not brought up in the class.

If you only knew the personal application these last two lesson have been in my life you wouldn't even wonder.

Just because it isn't written doesn't mean it doesn't come up in class. 

Each ward, each RS and priestood quorum is different, that is why my outlines are generic, anyone could take, adapt and use it for their classes.

					<description>I'm sorry JoAnn, but you must not be understanding the purpose of my outlines.  It is that, an outline.  When I prepare my lessons I try to figure out what quotes give the most meaning, and how to draw out the teachings and the Words of Joseph Smith as effectively as possible.

I am sure you are refering to the one section where I state have the sister's look here, that is because that section was so powerful to me that I could not pick out one quote to use.  Instead we talked about it as a disscussion, and in fact that section took up the majority of my lesson time, and I had to skip much of the end.  It is that important to me.

As far as my personal application that happens when I teach, generally through the promptings of the Spirit I will have something come to mind that I do not have in my outline that gives a prime example, or object lesson that magnifies what is being taught.

My outlines are just that, something to use as a guide.  I try to come up with open ended questions that promote the discussion to practicle application in our lives.

My goal as a teacher is to incourage, have the sisters, look a little higher, seek a little deeper from the &quot;Seminary&quot; answers that are so often given, but to the how do we do it, and what works for different people.

If I put in my outlines all about me, I would not publish them because that is what it would become, me, and not about the Prophet Joseph and his views on the lessons.

I think you would be surprised to sit in one of my lessons and hear the discussions that occur, and I am grateful that I have the chance to learn to teach by the spirit.  It is not my words, but the words prompted by the spirit that make the lesson.

An outline is only a guide, and rarely, I mean rarely do I have the sisters, look for answers in the book.  I'm sorry you seem to think so, because I do not read straight from the book, but try to guide a lesson from point A to point D smoothly, without much sidetrack, and with as much of a positive attitude I can give.</description>

					<description>I think your lessons are well structured, but I think it would be better to get the sisters thinking more about personal experiences vs. answers straight from the book.  I'd like to read more personal from you as well.</description>
