Let's see...this week! Sometimes it's hard to keep track of them...all the days run together.
SUNDAY LESSON. I taught the Relief Society lesson this week. That's the women's organization of the church. Lesson #1 from the Gospel Principles book was "Our Heavenly Father." I do love the comments from the sisters in our ward (congregation) -- such a wide range of knowledge and experiences lead to some very thought-provoking discussions.
RELIGION POLL. There was a very interesting article this week on a Gallup poll taken by Pew Research. Pew does quite a few surveys on religion. This article is entitled, "How religious is your state?" You can click on the title to go to the article. Check out how religious is YOUR state!
Four main questions they asked were "How important is religion in your life?" "Do you attend church services weekly?" "Do you pray at least once a day?" and "Do you believe in God with absolute certainty?" The map at the bottom is also interesting: the most and least religious states seem to be grouped a little, geographically. Just interesting food for thought.
SKIING: BRRR! Yesterday we took the kids to the same ski resort we went to last year, Wachusett Mountain. It was cold: 15-20 degrees all day! They see
med to remember how, and get more comfortable with it, as the day went on. And 
even though it was c
old, they came home saying they had a good time. (SUCCESS!) I 
didn't take the camera this time but here are some from last year: the resort, and the kids still look about the same.

ent to the dentist! Clean teeth, and thankfully no cavities. And just
a "think about it" on my old, old filling that takes up half my tooth...my dentist recommends a crown, of course with a smile. (Cha-ching! Does anyone ELSE hear cash flowing from my bank account into my mouth?)
Just a smattering of the week. Hope yours was safe and inspirational, in one way or another! Kari

Well - my State isn't as good as Utah - but wasn't TOO bad - thanks for directing me to the article - VERY interesting! I need a crown for the same reason - was waiting for another flexplan year for it, and here we are - about $800 IS a chaching right into my mouth! I feel your pain on that one....Have a good week! We ski on the 18th!
