I'm substitute teaching in Relief Society this Sunday. It is interesting that we are teaching out of the Gospel Essentials manual. It is laid out in very basic, straightforward language. I can see why it is the Sunday School manual for recent converts to the church. I am teaching The Lord's Law of Health this week. As I read over the lesson, my first impression was that it wasn't any new information. It is a simple outline of the Word Of Wisdom. In fact, one of the suggestions in the lesson was to have the class help make a list on the board of things that we have been told not to take into our bodies. I kept reading and there is a great section about the things we are supposed to do for our bodies and why (you can click on the words: "The Lord's Law of Health" wherever you see it in the text to read the lesson). I decided to focus more on that portion of the Word of Wisdom. I know that I have never had any problems with the "DON'Ts" but I don't always completely follow all the "DOs".

I was told that I should have a lot of visuals since our Relief Society as a whole is full of visual learners. I made a few things but wanted to have something big to go along with the lesson. I wanted something that would serve as a reminder of all the things we are supposed to do to stay healthy that I could eventually hang up in my home. I was inspired by this post on THIS BLOG to make a poster. How cool is it that you can get things printed on engineering blueprint paper? I picked up my poster this morning. It only took the wonderful people at Staples about 45 minutes to have it ready after I emailed it to them. It cost me just under $3 with tax!

This is the JPEG of the poster. I included it because you can't see the whole thing in the other picture.

Here I am with the poster so you can see exactly what $3 bought me!
