Extra song for July: Shine On

The Wise Man and The Foolish Man just proved too easy for these kids.  I should have known.  It couldn't have been a worse month for me, either.  I had zero desire to prepare a new song.  I've been struggling a bit with a loss for someone close to me.  Just trying to be on top of that for her really wears a girl out.  But alas...

So I have added a few extra songs to the mix.

Shine On p. 144

I Believe in Being Honest p. 149

I created this flipchart to go with the song Shine On.  It doesn't have all the words, but most.
This is a song that I had never actually heard before, but I really believe the message it teaches is incredible.  And what better song to teach the kids to think of when they are faced with temptations in the world, "Shine on, shine on, shine on bright and clear;  Shine on, shine on now the day is here."

I am still working on a flipchart for the song I believe in being honest.   Check back in a few days, and I should have one. 

**Sidenote**
I really should have made a chart for Nephi's Courage, as a I had some really good ideas.  However, I ended up just using one from Jolly'Jenn's site.  It served its purpose, and the kids learned the song really well, but I still might revisit the idea of making my own, just so I'll have it.

See you in a few days!
