The Deseret Guide Book, Your basic beehiving manual:
When the Jaredites left the tower of Babel they took Deseret with them.
You can almost hear them chanting.. “We Want Honey! We Want Honey!”

What better way to have honey is there except to go in partners with a colony of bees to make your own special blend. The varieties are almost endless. Thirty years ago the Miles family living near Buckeye Arizona introduced me to the joys of having special blends of honey on hand. Their favorites were cotton honey, mesquite honey, alfalfa honey, pomegranate honey, and cottonwood honey.

When they opened a jar you could smell the blend. Spread it on a hot biscuit (made with hand cranked, freshly ground whole wheat, of course) you could flat out taste the cool sweet flavor of that blend. It was a lot of work. It was a lot of fun. It was a lot of flavor.

What brands you see on a shelf taste the same, jar after jar, but that’s because they dump all their honey into a huge vat and mix it. Before I met the Miles I would take any kind of honey available. If the label said HONEY, I grabbed it.

If I found a bee hive out in the desert I grabbed that kind of honey too. Wild bees make wild honey. You never know what kind of flavor you’ll end up with. Wild bees are kind of fierce and mean too. They think they own that honey and they’ll defend it to the death. That’s why honey hunters dress up like spacemen.  I’ll bet you can’t wait to get started in keeping your own bees.  Right Click HERE for your free copy of this fifty page book.

The Power Road To Higher Education

Music:  There is also an interactive Church Music Player on the web site now which is fun to use.    It will even help you learn to sing.  It has most of our hymns and many Primary Songs.  The beat can be slowed until you learn it, parts, melody, bass, tenor, soprano settings there for the taking.  Check it out and tell anyone in the choir.

If you are ever responsible for assembling a group of Saints together who don't know each other remember the one sure subject to introduce is HOW I WAS CONVERTED. If that subject ever does wear out and you still need to keep the conversation rolling then the second subject to introduce is SOME OF THE BAPTISMS I PERFORMED. 

We can't dry up the rivers of iniquity 
but we can offer rocks of refuge 
where righteousness reigns.

The music of William James has touched the hearts of many thousands of people.  William records that almost the very instant he set having a temple marriage at the top of his priorities his taste in music changed.  His mission call to Australia gave him the privilege of writing and performing music in special firesides.  "I was a missionary first and a musician second."

Writing lends itself to the field of genealogy.  If you can write simple English then you can produce family histories for money.  Breaking in is the hardest part, naturally.  But the good news is that once you get going, the business just keeps pouring in through word of mouth.  As a genealogy writer you'll be doing research, outlining, timelining, and producing the final product for publication.  Some other skills that will stand you in good stead are basic photography, and interviewing.  If you can run a camcorder, so much the better.

If you just tell people you are a genealogy writer, even though interest is running higher all the time, many people will just shrug their shoulders.  They don't know WHY they should care -- yet.  The first thing you'll want to do is learn some of the reasons people SHOULD do their genealogy.  The more reasons you come up with, the more sales you can make.  For example, did you know that doing genealogy research could literally be good for one's health?   Here is a special audio file to give you some more ideas.  Listen in, and then let's talk some more.  Okay?  Click HERE for that audio.

Special
For Relief Society

The Savior has specifically enjoined us to help the poor and the needy.  How do you make sure you are giving full, complete help that will remedy the situation without making the problem worse. 

A handout is seldom the right thing to offer. For months we had one young woman asking every church in town for a handout. She called us one day asking for gas money and I offered to let her clean out our garage in exchange for the money, certain she would turn it down. Instead, she leaped at the chance to actually earn the money she needed. 

Susie met with my wife and went to work. She cleaned and she polished and long after my wife said she had already earned the money Susie kept on working. Only when SHE was satisfied did Susie quit. Then she proudly accepted her wages and went home smiling. She felt good. We felt good. The garage was clean too. You can't beat a deal like that with a six foot stick.

Helping a needy family over life's temporary hurdles is seldom easy even with prayer and the power of discernment to guide us.  Quite often the kind of help we want to give is the wrong kind of help for that family to receive. Quite often this is complicated because the family itself has no idea whatsoever what it needs. 

Consequently, I have created a NEEDS AND ANALYSIS list designed to help you discover the individual needs of the family.  As you go through the list with the applicant, watch the eyes as you read off items on the list for tips of what things this family might consider a luxury out of its reach, and not dare to ask for. 

This list is not meant to be exhaustive, or limiting. It really won't matter to you if the family wants tooth powder instead of tooth paste. Nobody will need everything on this list. The less likely to be desired items are lumped in one cell; simply circle the items wanted and check the box on the right.
