In 2 Nephi 6-10, Jacob is reading the words of Isaiah. Study these chapters before hand to better understand the verses and to teach what the spirit prompts you to. We hear the word harken a lot in these verses. Explain that harken means listen and give some real life examples. You can also count how many times you hear harken as you read.

Before we go straight to the examples, let’s figure out what an oxymoron is first. So, let’s begin with the name and its origins. The term oxymorum was first recorded a while back by a dude named Maurus Servius Honoratus, who lived around 400 AD. The term itself is derived from the Greek word oksus, meaning sharp, keen, pointed and moros meaning dull, stupid, or foolish. So, sharp-dull, keenly stupid, or pointedly foolish; your choice. What’s even more fun is that the word oxymoron is autological, which is a fancy term for saying that it is itself an example of an oxymoron.
Are you a wise woman or a foolish one? The Bible has a lot to say about wisdom and foolishness. How do we learn to recognize the difference?
It is imperative to connect with joy and evolve our own personal practice of compassion.Love the ones you claim. The ones who are yours. The ones that your heart recognizes in the light & in the dark. The ones who will choose to journey with you through the fantastic & the foolish.Family is made up of who you are loved by & ties you readily tether your soul to. Make sure you are loud with your love.Tend to your joy and honor it as the boldest act of resistance. This beautiful rally is originally from the poem 'The Telly Cycle" by poet and founder of Cave Canem Toi Derricotte

The Peterkin Papersby Lucretia HaleDescription: Lucretia Hale's tales of the Peterkins, originally published in newspapers in the 1860s and 1870s, are here collected in book form.
Felix Yusupov - sole heir to pre-Revolutionary Russia's greatest private fortune, youthful transvestite, homosexual (or at least bisexual), improbable husband to the last Tsar's only niece - is most famous - infamous - as the instigator of the plot against and murder of Rasputin. But what came after? The notorious and grisly murder was a last desperate act, in the midst of World War I, to try and save the mortally ill Russian monarchy. Too little, too late; the Revolution was only three months away. Felix and his wife, Irina, were able to take refuge in the relatively calm Crimea, where they joined other fortunate aristocrats and members of the Romanov family, including Irina's immediate family and her grandmother, the Dowager Empress. On the deck of the HMS Marlborough,leaving Russia in 1919. In April of 1919, as the Civil War threatened, the whole group was evacuated, boarding an English warship sent by the Dowager Empress' nephew, King George V. The Yusupovs would settle in Paris. Through luck and some foresight, Felix and Irina were quite a bit better off than the majority of the Russian émigrés. They had jewels to sell, like so many others, but Felix had also managed to bring two Rembrandts out of Russia. They also had possessions and property in England and France. Felix became known for his great kindness and generosity to his fellow transplanted Russians. Felix and his daughter, also named Irina, but always called Bébé. I don't know who the painter is, but the results don't look too promising. In 1924 Felix and Irina opened a couture house in Paris. Maison Irfé, named after the first two initials of his and his wife's first names, also became known for its line of perfumes, and they went on to open branches in Touquet and London before closing the business in 1931, mostly as a result of the world-wide Depression. The next year, by now in financial difficulties themselves, the couple brought a lawsuit against the film studio MGM, claiming that a character in the film "Rasputin and the Empress" - a heavily fictionalized account of the last days of the Romanovs and the murder of Rasputin - too closely resembled Princess Irina, and that the character's rape by Rasputin - in fact, Irina had never even met him - constituted libel. They won, and in 1934 were awarded a huge settlement. In London in 1932, during the trial against MGM. (Three images.) 1950. 1952. In 1927 Felix had written a book about Rasputin and his own involvement in the murder, and then an autobiography, "Lost Splendour" - not entirely trustworthy, but fascinating and well-written - first published in French in 1952 as "Avant l'Exil". Though an unusual pairing, and though Felix apparently had many male attachments through the years, he and Irina had a very happy marriage and a strong bond which lasted until his death in 1967, at the age of eighty. (Finally, the comb-over has been abandoned.) In his final home, at 38, Rue Pierre-Guérin in the 16th arrondissement of Paris, surrounded by possessions and family portraits. In 1966, the year before his death. Felix on his deathbed. (Two images.) Irina, at Felix's funeral; she would live only three years more. As someone who was so obviously troubled by the loss of his youth and beauty - the lingering comb-over and the obvious maquillage say all that needs to be said on that topic - Felix may have been making a subconscious reference to his own aging appearance and not merely his vanished wealth when he agreed to his memoir's English-language title, "Lost Splendour". As someone who sympathizes greatly with his desperate efforts, I think it only kind to end this post with a treasured image of Felix in the glory of his sixteen year old self, as immortalized by Serov. Portrait by Valentin Serov, 1903.

This Sunday we had a Wise and Foolish Builders themed Messy church and things did, indeed, get a bit messy! Here are some of the things we got up to... Playing with moon sand (messy but even the grown ups liked this one!) Painting houses (or anything!) on rocks Building Duplo Houses and deciding whether to put them on sand or on rock... Making Prayer houses: boxes from house templates with a prayer placed inside them. Download a lovely free template here. Building an entire cardboard city! We then told the story of the wise and foolish builders with the help of a watering can and some sound effects and talked about having God and His words as our rock when times were tricky. Can't wait until next month!
We had some extra time yesterday so I decided to introduce Selena to building our tower on different type of foundations. I first asked her ...

Today's lesson in Kindergarten was about the Wise and Foolish builders. The kids have been singing "The Wise Man Built His House on The Rock" since they were babies so this story was familiar to most of them. We talked about what a parable is and the reason Jesus told parables. We did this activity as we talked about why we should build our houses (lives) on a solid foundation (Jesus) and not on the sand! They loved this and thankfully it worked like it was supposed to. I did reinforce the house on the rock by taping the popsicle stick to the bottom of the pan before stacking up the rocks! We couldn't have that house falling too! The last time I tried this some of the rocks wouldn't stay put and the house leaned a little! I wanted it to stand firm this time. Before the storm came! The rains came down! The house on the rock stood firm! A very simple craft. Find pictures of houses and have the kids glue one on a rock and the other sideways on some sand! Another wise and foolish builders song! Found this song here I printed off some coloring pages to use as visuals to go along with the song. I put the words on the back of each picture Tune: This Old Man This wise man, he built well he built well up on a rock When the rains came down And the Floods came up This man's house stood firm and strong! Foolish man, he built wrong he built wrong up on the sand When the rains came down And the Floods came up This man's house came tumbling down!

The art of caricature has been known for centuries. Funny portraits that focus on subjects' features, simplifying or exaggerating them, constitute a popular form of caricature. Sometimes, this type of drawing can make someone appear foolish due to the presentation of certain aspects of the person's appearance. Today, we would like to introduce you to the art of George G. Williams, whose caricature work is on another level.
