Blogging and Seminary?

Since I'm not a blogger I really don't expect anyone to see this, but it does make for a little family history writing. I read other peoples blogs and they are so eloquent in their style and I have no style. With teaching seminary and not really being a natural teacher it seems to take the majority of my day just to put together a lesson that for most people would only take maybe 2 hours. I was in a seminary conference a year ago and the leader asked, "Who takes about 7 hours to put together a lesson" of course I raised my hand along with a new girl next to me. He went down the time frame until he got to, "Who can do it in 1 hour." there were some behind me who raised their hands and than one of the sisters (behind me of course) said semi-softly, "If it takes you longer than that your doing it wrong". Well I'm on my third year and I am getting better but it still and probably will always take me longer. I love the kids though they are great! And I have to say that I have loved studying the Old Testament it has come alive for me. We're finishing up Isaiah and I love it. I remember my seminary teacher saying when we were studying the B of M that Isaiah was hard and to just skip 2 Nephi and go on. For years I would tell myself to skip 2 Nephi and go on, until one day I figured that I couldn't do that the rest of my life and I better read it. I discovered that I was missing so much! I love Isaiah! There is always something to learn with him. Recently got a Torah and read it in the Hebrew prose (is that how you would say that?) It was very interesting and fun. Anyways I am on Spring break and looking forward to the week. Because of the broken water pipe a year ago that ruined our wood office floor we now are in the process of replacing it and all the furniture is scattered to other rooms and the filler stinks the whole place up but at least it is getting done, hooray!
