A Peaceful Sunday Morning Idea

I don't know how many of you have had the opportunity to listen to the Mormon Channel radio station. I LOVE it!!!! Rather than listening to the station live, I have my list of favorite features that I just download and listen to at will. These segments are available as podcasts that can be downloaded into any number of programs including iTunes. You can subscribe and iTunes will continue to download new podcasts every time they become available.

One of my kids' favorite things to listen to is the Scripture Stories podcast. A moderator meets with a group of primary aged children and they read stories from the scripture readers, then discuss the lessons learned, the feelings and motivations of the people in the stories, and the decisions we make in our lives that are like the decisions faced by those people. All my kids enjoy this, but Kate (7) especially loves it. She sits with her reader and follows along, answering the questions posed by the moderator right along with the kids on the podcast! It's adorable, and very gratifying watching her learn to know and love the people in the scriptures. It is emphasized quite often that the people in the scriptures are real people, which is such an important concept in this age of cartoons.

For the adults in the house, some of my favorite podcasts are "Legacy" and "History of the Hymns". We are so blessed to have this wonderful resource. If you're so inclined, take a minute to subscribe and enjoy a peaceful Sunday morning, afternoon, or anytime.
