We started out the week with “Raising Helen,” a romantic comedy about a career woman (Kate Hudson) who inherits her sister’s children when she is killed.

Scripture Study: 1 Nephi 16:26-32

Lehi’s family is wandering in the wilderness, and they are starving. The bows have lost their springs, and Nephi’s high quality steel bow was their last chance for survival. When his bow breaks, his brothers begin to murmur, and even Lehi complains against the Lord. But after Nephi speaks to his father and shows him loving respect befitting his position as patriarch of the family and prophet of the Lord, Lehi repents and goes to the Lord to inquire where Nephi should go to look for food. 26. And it came to pass that the voice of the Lord said … Continue reading →

The Country Bears (2002)

I’m delighted to say that my long search for a good children’s movie (after a long drought) has come to an end. I watched “The Country Bears” with my kids this afternoon, and we all loved it. Beary Barrington (voiced by Haley Joel Osment) has always felt a little out of place in his family. Could it be because they’re all humans and he’s a bear? His parents try to tell him he’s not adopted, but he knows something just doesn’t feel right. His brother Dex finally tells him that he was found abandoned in the woods and that the … Continue reading →
