The rumble of Humvees and the buzz of choppers are already commonplace to the neighbors of this elite Army base in the rolling hills north of Dahlonega. Some worry they are about to become a lot more frequent if a North Georgia lawmaker's late legislative push succeeds.

A+ A+F Campus Resources: I love going to our new Librarie, and the tutoring center. It is new and big. It has many more areas to study, and work on papers. The Athletic center is whee i spend time as well. Its not new but I love our new pool. Student store has everything you ever need.
A- A+F Campus Resources: My school has a ride program set up with the local buses. Any student with a current year student i.d. can ride the public buses for free for the entire semester, whether they are going to class or work or out with their friends.
A A+F Campus Resources: The computer lab was recently upgraded from the older outdated system. Newer computers were donated to the school which are available for students mon-fri. The internet access is fast and reliable. The only complaint I have about our computer lab is it is not available on the weekends.
C A+F Campus Resources: There are very few resources available to you at crafton. The Library is really nice but there are few places to study.
A A+F Campus Resources: Rarely does the computer network has problems. Even though, this is true there are times where the whole campus electricity goes out from time to time. The printers are pretty good. I've never had a problem with them before.

There are many resources on campus for the students to use. Crafton has the exceptional Learning Resource Center (LRC), which houses the library, dozens of open access computers, a tutoring center, event amphitheater, contract teacher offices, a patio for other events, and several conference rooms for studying. The conference rooms each have room for 10 people, a whiteboard, and independent climate controls. In fact, the only thing it does not have is enough reliable printers. The LRC is not the only place with computers. Most every classroom has a computer-driven overhead projector and several have ELMO systems for displaying physical objects, handwritten notes, and so on. There are several computer classrooms, and one is also an open lab most of the day. Every year or two, one of the computer rooms will get new computers. As this happens, the oldest machines are cycled out, which keeps the campus relatively up-to-date.
One thing that Crafton does not yet have is its own athletic program. For now, athletes can study at Crafton and go to the sister college, San Bernardino Valley College, for athletics. However, with the aquatics center that was joint developed with the City of Yucaipa, there is hope that the local high school water polo team will have a place to continue their sport. It also adds to the existing physical education classes; the PE classes are another place where the small campus packs in a surprising number. The required four units of health or physical education can be taken in dance, golf, weight training, martial arts, yoga, and others. The campus has a long history of supporting physical activity and has facilities for all of these sports. With the aquatics center, swimming should soon join the ranks of available classes and be a cool activity in the warmer months that California enjoys.

MANHATTAN, Kan. — Before Mike Clark applied to become Kansas States baseball coach in 1987, he asked two close friends for permission to list them as references.
Kansas State University
K-State baseball program rose from humble beginnings
May 29
By KELLIS ROBINETT
The Kansas City Star
One was a scout with the Cincinnati Reds. The other worked for the Royals. With their help, Clark was confident he could convince K-State officials to take a chance on an up-and-coming coach from Northeastern Oklahoma A&M Community College.
His friends agreed, but they also issued a warning.
They both told me, Dont do it, Clark says now. I had things rolling where I was. They said, They are going to drop the program. Youre better off where you are now. Dont take a chance on this job.
Clark ignored them, accepting the position weeks later and winning a program-record 435 games before stepping down in 2003. Still, Clark admits there was wisdom in the warnings.
K-State was a perennial loser back then, paying its coach $22,000 a year $4,000 less than Clark was making at the junior-college level and he was allowed to hire one assistant with a salary of $12,000 and had a recruiting budget of $2,000. His office was located inside a trailer, his players didnt have a locker room, and K-States stadium consisted of homemade bleachers and portable toilets surrounding a baseball field.
Our budget was horrible, Clark says. When we went out recruiting, we slept at truck stops. People always laughed when theyd ask where our recruiting base was. It was wherever we had relatives or friends and we had a place to say. Thats what we had to do.
Clark probably was better off as a junior-college coach in Oklahoma, but the Wildcats offered something his old job never could. At K-State, he saw the potential for greatness.
Even though the program was on life support, he envisioned the winning culture that exists today.
Everything was there to have a great facility and a great program, Clark says. Maybe I was naïve, but I never thought they were going to cut the program. When you are young, you aim high, and I could see Kansas State winning conference championships and playing in regionals. We almost won the Big Eight with what we had. We just had to get certain things in line before we could compete at a national level.
The Wildcats are now doing exactly that, preparing to play host to their first NCAA regional two weeks after winning their first Big 12 championship. Under Brad Hill, in his 10th season following Clark, they have become one of the nations top hitting teams and are making their fourth NCAA Tournament appearance in five years.
That success eluded Clark. Though he coached teams that won 34 games and finished second in the conference standings, he never led the Wildcats to the NCAA Tournament. But he did help lay the foundation for the programs current achievements by helping raise funds to expand Tointon Family Stadium, increase coaching salaries and keep the team alive when it was an afterthought.
He is the one who had to battle, Hill says. He is the one who didnt have a stadium. He is the one who didnt have funding. He is the one who was putting up fences and bleachers and Porta Pottys around the stadium. That is a chore and that is a battle, particularly against the people they were having to play against.
I was at Kansas (as an assistant) when he was here, and obviously we had much more at Kansas than they had here. But he kept this thing going and he persevered. He saw the stadium being built. We are just fortunate he did.
Clark now serves as senior director for development with K-States Ahearn Fund. But he is quick to deflect praise throughout the athletic department.
He credits former athletic director Tim Weiser for hiring Hill. He credits Hill for taking the program to new heights. He credits football coach Bill Snyder for boosting the schools reputation. He credits athletic director John Currie for improving facilities. And, most of all, he credits the baseball players who have won 41 games this season.
Still, their success brings back memories of how different times were for Clark. He remembers one athletic director telling him it didnt matter if the baseball team won or lost. Finishing the year under budget was more important. The worst tongue-lashing he ever received came after an expensive water bill.
The true turning point might have come when K-State secured the funding for its latest expansion. Ironically, that also led to a low point for Clark. While the stadium was being built in 1999, the team went an entire season without playing at home. The Wildcats played home games in Salina, Hutchinson, Wichita and St. Joseph in addition to a full slate of road games.
Clark was pleased with that teams 26-29 record. But the experience was so tiring he came close to quitting.
The stadium was our first major step toward competing at a national level, but there was no timetable, Clark says. We were a long way from even thinking about a regional, hosting a regional or anything like that. Back in 99, we were just trying to survive.
You can guess what Clarks emotions were this season. Ten years after retiring from the job his friends warned him about, he watched K-State win a conference championship and Tointon Family Stadium selected as an NCAA regional host.
His vision became reality.
Its a memory I will take with me to heaven, Clark says. We were doing it for this. We were doing it for somewhere in the future when this team is playing in the College World Series. It will happen. It is difficult, and it is tough, but when you start hosting regionals you can start thinking about that.
The program we have now is the program I dreamed about when I was hired.

Hi David,
spendid colours of the Venetian lagoon, very beautiful smooth refections ... great shot!
Vato_Law (12720) 2008-02-18 10:12
Hello David,
Typical shot from this colourful town with the colours of its houses being even more enhanced by the morning light hitting the facades.
The reflections on water are lovely too and bring out a sense of calm and relaxation typical from the early hours of the morning.
Great photo!
fredon (5052) 2008-02-18 10:32
Amazing colors and textures. Maybe a little oversaturated but i like the peaceful mood.

Júlio Jardim
MarianneS (15338) 2008-02-18 14:21
Hello David,
I like this one too.
I had to check twice to know if it was exactly the same houses, but yes it is. The point of view is very good too and gives more place to the beautiful sky.
My only (little) regret is that you could not catch the whole reflection of the first house. Perhaps one step back would have been enough. Perhaps not ;)
eza1701 (3345) 2008-02-18 23:59
Hi Dave,
This is a wonderfully presented shot and the reflections in the water give it a feeling like a watercolour painting.
Best regards,
calexica (1247) 2008-02-19 1:46
Hey David,
A very nice shot of Burano. I love the reflections of the colorful houses in the water. Excellent vivid colors, great sharpness & details. Congratulations!!! TFS!!!

Hej DAvid,
Great again, as some else said a tiny bit over-saturated colors. But... it allso has a lot to do which screen you are using and red are icredible hard to get fair when you publish it on internet.

Cover Letters
What is the purpose of a cover letter?
The cover letter invites the hiring committee to read your résumé and tells them why you are the best person for the position. It also covers specifics that you might not have been able to adequately add into your résumé.
What format should I use for my cover letter?
There are numerous formats available to guide you through the writing process. Be aware that the format you choose should also coincide with the open position. For example, if you are applying for a position that requires graphic design skills you might want to add some creative elements to your cover letter. If you are applying for a business position, you would want your letter to reflect a more professional business approach.
How long should my cover letter be?
For entry level positions, a one page cover letter is usually sufficient. With that said, one paragraph is not substantial enough.
Cover letter tips:
·Nothing is more of a turn off for potential employers than seeing misspellings or grammatical errors. Have at least two additional people look over both your cover letter and résumé to catch mistakes.
·Don't forget to add your name, contact information, and date on your letter.
·Your signature on the bottom is a must.
·Single spaced is best.
·Be confident in your writing. Without embellishing the truth, just state it as is. For example, instead of saying: I am pretty good with numbers, you should say, I have extensive training with accounting and am excellent when dealing with details and numbers.
·Use your cover letter to add substance to your résumé. If you cannot explain something in your résumé, use your cover letter to get your point across.

Lesson Plan
On the Trail of Lincoln's Life
- Grades: 3–5
One of the easiest — and quickest — ways to grab the attention of students is to show them other things that happened on today's date in history. I have a national and international happening posted, and scattered throughout the month, I also have a "weird event" from history.
A "today's date" approach is also excellent to begin a study of any major historical figure, such as Abraham Lincoln. Find out "what was happening in. . ." by visiting This Week in Lincoln History. After your class sees what was happening this week in Lincoln's life, your next stop can be Hodgenville, Kentucky, to look at the Lincoln birthplace.
Are your students clamoring for more after discovering Hodgenville? Take them to Historic Places Connected with Abraham Lincoln. You can start at his birthplace, then weave your way from law offices to statehouses to your final stop, the Lincoln Memorial. There are good photo tours that start here.
No exploration of Abraham Lincoln's life and accomplishments is complete without looking at his speeches and writings. Choose from the Selected Speeches of Abraham Lincoln or the Writings of Abraham Lincoln, or both, as you need them for your particular classes.
Lastly the Bartlett's Quotations Abraham Lincoln 1809–1865 site provides five famous quotes from Lincoln. Ending the unit with quotes such as these ones has always proven to be a powerful way to put closure to this era — yet keep it open for future reference. Former students continue to return for visits, telling me how the quotes they learned in class still hold powerful truths for them — years later!

Taylor Berry was very lucky to get a second Heart transplant. There are now over 110,000 people on the National Transplant Waiting List, with over 50% of these people dying before they get a transplant. Most of these deaths are needless. Americans bury or cremate 20,000 transplantable organs every year.
There is another good way to put a big dent in the organ shortage – if you don't agree to donate your organs when you die, then you go to the back of the waiting list if you ever need an organ to live.
Giving organs first to organ donors will convince more people to register as organ donors. It will also make the organ allocation system fairer. About 50% of the organs transplanted in the United States go to people who haven't agreed to donate their own organs when they die.
Anyone who wants to donate their organs to others who have agreed to donate theirs can join LifeSharers. LifeSharers is a non-profit network of organ donors who agree to offer their organs first to other organ donors when they die. Membership is free at www.lifesharers.org or by calling 1-888-ORGAN88. There is no age limit, parents can enroll their minor children, and no one is excluded due to any pre-existing medical condition. LifeSharers has over 14,690 members, including 1184 members in Texas.
Please contact me – Dave Undis, Executive Director of LifeSharers – if your readers would like to learn more about our innovative approach to increasing the number of organ donors. I can arrange interviews with some of our local members if you're interested. My email address is firstname.lastname@example.com. My phone number is 615-351-8622.

As I've been walking around under a cloud of volcanic ash wondering, like many, when aircraft are going to restore that reliable sense of speed we have got used to in our lives, my dog Lucy has been concerned with developments on the ground. As the earth softens and emits the many smells of the life within it, Lucy is in sensory heaven. It has been a long, dull winter without the aromas of the earth and only endless amounts of white snow that, to her chagrin, leaves her fur sparkling clean. For a dog, not walking around with something ill-smelling in its fur is the height of unattractiveness.
So far I have managed to stick to my new regimen of a long early morning walk in Drottningholm Park. It is a wonderful new habit but I fear that Lucy and I have objectives that are at odds. While I am seeking to break into a sweat, burn energy and tone muscles by keeping up a goose-step pace strictly between 6.30 and 7.30 am (when I have to be home to ensure that the children get breakfast before I start work) Lucy is in a timeless search for the smell of all smells. Like a connoisseur, she slows down at each tree to appreciate the many great smells that a tree bears: the smell of birds, squirrels, deer chewing at the lichen on the bark and of course canine buddies who have previously baptized the tree. Like a speed tyrant, I drag her forward and reprimand her for inattention to our schedule.
On one of the back paths we run into Crown Princess Victoria looking athletic in black followed by two noisy lifeguards. "Hej", she comments gently to Lucy who naturally captures the spotlight with her timeless sense of joy. Then it occurs to me that not even a rushed crown princess who most likely has no desire to greet more beings during her precious early morning hours can resist being drawn in by that affectionate space that a dog creates. Even if dogs physically live in our harried world, spiritually they preserve that original authenticity of joy in the moment that just then seems to have no limits.
Lucy is all done with her pal the Crown Princess and has now found a snail to focus her attentions upon. The snail is crossing the road at a pace which is painful to observe. There isn't a great deal of traffic here but all it takes is the occasional vehicle to send the snail to purgatory. My urge is to lift up the poor little critter and move it to safety on the other side of the road, but something tells me that we should let nature take its course. Lucy and I watch the snail with ears pricked until finally its trail has left a shiny line across the road. We look up and find that a vehicle has been waiting for us to be done with snail hour.
Although she can be annoying I cherish my dog. How else would I learn to appreciate the delicate progress of a snail?
For anyone contemplating purchasing a furry friend check Svenska Kennelklubben. If you are interested in a Lucy check Golden Retrieverklubben.

anybody know when score sheets are returned?
According to the page "every effort to mail them out within 72 hours", so I'm thinking they should show up soon.
Up Next: Sticke Altbier, Doppelsticke Altbier, Maris Otter/Willamette SMaSH Primary: Lamebic, Dusseldorf Altbier Bottled: Dubbel, Milk Stout, Smoked Black Saison Bottle "cellar": Brett B. Tripel, Wee Heavy, Imperial Red, Islay Scotch Ale, Tripel, Quadrupel, Brett C. Oaked English Barleywine
Just got my score sheets. porter 25, amber ale 30, cider 29. some helpful comments, some unhelpful comments and scores. got 2/5 for mouthfeel from one judge on my robust porter. comments were "med. body, med. carbonation". style guidelines: "Mouthfeel: Medium to medium-full body. Moderately low to moderately high carbonation. Stronger versions may have a slight alcohol warmth. May have a slight astringency from roasted grains, although this character should not be strong." i wasnt planning on winning any ribbons, and just wanted feedback on my beers, so i don't care about the scores, but it does seem like they just pull it out of thin air for somethings. the BJCP judge gave the mouthfeel of that beer 5/5, so i'll go with that. the rest of his comments were helpful too, so i'm going to go based on what he said.
Got my 3 score sheets today. Two were entry 129, which is mine, one entry 139. Anyone get an entry 129?

Well, I'll be a monkey's uncle: A Texas education committee has recommended that an outfit called the Institute for Creation Research be allowed to offer online master's degrees in science education.
So basically, a college that offers advanced degrees in the "science" of creationism has cleared its first hurdle toward operating in Texas. Its graduates would then be qualified to teach science in almost any Texas public school. (The Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board meets in January to decide whether the ICR should be allowed to offer degrees here.)
According to its website, the Institute "equips believers with evidences of the Bible's accuracy and authority through scientific research, educational programs, and media presentations." It also believes that abortion, promiscuity, drug abuse and homosexuality — among other plagues — are a result of belief in evolution. Earth, they say, is only a few thousand years old, and the best science book in print is the Bible. Less than 10% of Americans believe in evolution, they claim.
But, says CEO Henry Morris III, the college offers "both sides" of the story. So what's the story? "All things in the universe were created and made by God in the six literal days of the creation week," Morris says. Thus, God's six-day week became the basis of our modern work week. And ICR believes the Earth is round. The other side, Morris says, is piffle and poppycock.
And the dinosaurs? How can you explain the dinosaurs? Easy. All of the big ones died when Noah couldn't fit them on the Ark. All we have are the little ones … like 'gators.
See? I'm blessed. But say a prayer for those kids who'll get an ICR graduate as a science teacher.

I'M CURVY & I'M PROUD! by Denise Vasquez
I used this photo of my boobs because I KNEW it would grab everyone's attention! YES these are my boobs & YES, they are REAL!!! One of my many benefits of being CURVY!
I'm SO sick of the media & the entertainment industry being hung up on the "Skinny Trend"…
People starving, anorexia, bulimia is NOT cute, NOT fun, and NOT sexy! Shame on the industry for selling that look! I was anorexic growing up…like many women with disorders, I can tell you that I hid the fact that I had a disorder and I HATED being skinny! I was made fun of CONSTANTLY!!! I'm finally to a place where I am healthy & happy! I'M CURVY & I'M PROUD!
Supposedly the new Hollywood trend is "REAL PEOPLE"! Then start by allowing people to be who they really are! Stop being so hung up on size & age! Stop trying to sell people for what you think they should be!
So many people are doing drugs & starving themselves trying to maintain what Hollywood & the media are portraying as How they think you should look!
I see castings every day for size 0-2…I'm sorry, but I think If there's a 30-40' year old woman who's my height 5'9, out who's a size 0-2 she MIGHT have a disorder…Not healthy in my opinion & the fact that Hollywood keeps demanding that from their actresses is not healthy!
I'm not saying that Hollywood is entirely responsible, but they need to be AWARE & take some RESPONSIBILITY for what they DEMAND!
So many people people are hiding how old they are, hiding what size they are, obsessed with changing how they look with plastic surgery… in order to conform to what they believe is how they think they should look in order to please everyone! Let me just say this…
I'm 42 years old & PROUD of my age! I have nothing to hide, nor am I ashamed of admitting how old I am! For me age is just a reminder of where I've been & where I am! I love where I've been because it's made me the woman I am today & I love where I am right now! If people don't want to hire me, or know me because I'm not a size 0-6…that's there loss! Someone eventually sees beyond that, sees me for my talent, and it's their gain!
Look at the Hollywood startlets that know themselves & love who they are, they are very comfortable in their own skin! They know themselves, love themselves, are confident & comfortable in their own skin, are sexy and they shine!!!
Marilyn Monroe was a size 12…she's HOT!!!
Just saying!

Inclusion is a nice idea. But it isn't always ideal. Sped Ed students who are mainstreamed have a vast array of coping tools they are taught prior to inclusion. And even after inclusion they still received accommodations in the from of the IEP. Thus, increasing the differentiation required by the teacher. Please don't mistake my remarks as not wanting Sped Ed in my classroom. Every Sped ED student is uniquely different and should be judged on a case-by-case basis. But I do believe that a majority of these students are better served in a small class size setting with more individualize instruction than inclusion usually allows. I do not believe that NCLB has done these children any favors.
I didn't say I agreed with inclusion. I said it is pushed in public schools. I actually believe in special ed resource and self-contained classes. Without those classes more parents look to private schools. Here we disagree sort of. While public school special ed. teachers may not be credentialed as much as they used to be due to the fast-track programming of teachers in general, private and parochial schools often do not have fully credentialed special education teachers. Maybe they have a few like your friend, but usually not.

Romney's Four Flushing
http://www.urbandictionary.com/define...People - Romney neither has enough swing state's or electoral votes to win.
From this 7.29pm reply to my post:
I must conclude you are one of those left-wing ideologues that think they know everything and therefore keeps their head buried in the sand. I gave you how Romney could win, provided substantiation using poll information from RealClearPolitics.com. You reply with nothing but a shoot from the lip declaration.
You apparently are a "Jessica Simpson" which you can look up in the urban dictionary as well. Thinking about it, you probably will have use a regular dictionary to look up "anencephalic" as well.

The Proton 830R is a keeper, for sure.
Even if the display is out, listen to the unit before to judge it. Very good sounding ! Clear, good definition, good bass, sweet treble, and the highs are crystal clear. Soundstage is ok. It's amazing like old stuff like that, with Philips CDM2/10 and TDA1540P can sound.

Left to right: interpreter, the accused, Peer Khairi, Justice Robert Clark, witness Det. Const. Komarnisky, holding a knife from the crime scene, and Crown attorney Amanda Camara on October 10, 2012.
Credits: Courtroom sketch by Pam Davies
TORONTO -- The photos they're about to see are so bloody, so starkly gruesome, that the judge warns the jury not to be swayed by emotion. They are to regard the horrific pictures with the "same dispassion" as the rest of the evidence they will see.
It is a tall order.
Like a lamb, Randjida Khairi had been slaughtered, the angry knife carving so deeply across her throat that she was almost decapitated. Five knife wounds plunged through her back, chest and abdomen -- one slicing right through her liver. And this butchery was the admitted handiwork of her Afghan husband of 30 years, Peer Khairi, the man the Crown says she was about to leave.
Khairi, who has pleaded not guilty to second-degree murder, was shown each bloody photo in turn. The small, grey-haired 65-year-old leaned forward in the prisoner's box and examined every macabre tableau, with no tear, no grimace, no emotion at all flitting across his wizened brow.
According to the Crown's theory, Khairi murdered the mother of his six children because she had become too permissive, too Canadian it seems, by allowing them to dress and socialize as they liked instead of maintaining his strict rules of their Afghan birthplace.
And like her children, Randjida yearned to be free. In the Crown's opening, the jury was told that the 53-year-old may have had little English, but she had bravely reached out to her daughter, a community Afghan group and even a stranger about ways to separate from her husband. She had even managed to flee a few months before only to be found by Khairi and brought back home. But Randjida hadn't given up and was in the midst of separating her finances and moving out when she was brutally killed on March 18, 2008.
One knife had not been enough to do the grizzly deed. Toronto Police Det.-Const. Sandra Komarnisky opened a sealed evidence box and showed the jury two blood-covered knives seized from atop a glass table in the Khairis' living room: one resembled a long butcher's knife just over a foot long, the other, a smaller, folded knife with a sharper end.
The forensics officer also identified the bloodied clothes Randjida had been wearing when she was massacred that early afternoon: Her green patterned silk top and pants were sealed in plastic, but the red stains were clearly discernible even now, more than four years later.
Harder to see were the stab marks through the fabric, ones that punctured her top near her left breast and rib cage and in the centre of her back.
There was no evidence of a struggle, Komarnisky testified. There was no "red staining" anywhere else in the apartment except for the bloodbath in that corner of the living room where a cot had been set up as a makeshift bedroom. "The room was relatively neat, the furnishing appeared to be in place," she said. "Nothing had been tumbled over."
The jury has already been told that it would not have been a quick death. Instead, after her throat had been sliced through to her spine, Randjida would have choked on her own blood for five to 10 long minutes before finally dying of her injuries. And according to his own 911 call, Khairi then waited an hour before he dialled for help.
Sgt. Stanislaw Baj was one of the first officers to enter the apartment after Khairi had been handcuffed and taken into custody. He saw a lifeless woman lying on a bed soaked in crimson blood. "There was a large gaping wound along the entire length of her neck," he told jurors. "She appeared to be halfway decapitated. There was no chance of her being alive."
According to the prosecution, her husband would later tell police that he had been disrespected by his family and his wife had dared to take his children's side against him.
So was this an honour killing? A clash of cultures? The ultimate expression of domestic violence? Call it what you will, the horrific end was still the same.
As Khairi told the 911 operator in Hindi, his wife "is finished."

The priesthood is the eternal power and authority of God. Through the priesthood God created and governs the heavens and the earth. Through this power He redeems and exalts His children, bringing to pass "the immortality and eternal life of man" (Moses 1:39). God gives priesthood authority to worthy male members of the Church so they can act in His name for the salvation of His children. Priesthood holders can be authorized to preach the gospel, administer the ordinances of salvation, and govern the kingdom of God on the earth.
Male members of the Church may begin their priesthood service when they reach the age of 12. They begin by holding the Aaronic Priesthood, and they later may qualify to have the Melchizedek Priesthood conferred on them. At different stages in their lives and as they prepare themselves to receive different responsibilities, they hold different offices in the priesthood, such as deacon, teacher, or priest in the Aaronic Priesthood and elder or high priest in the Melchizedek Priesthood.
For a male member of the Church to hold the priesthood, an authorized priesthood holder must confer it on him and ordain him to an office in that priesthood (see Hebrews 5:4; D&C 42:11; Articles of Faith 1:5).
Although the authority of the priesthood is bestowed only on worthy male members of the Church, the blessings of the priesthood are available to all—men, women, and children. We all benefit from the influence of righteous priesthood leadership, and we all have the privilege of receiving the saving ordinances of the priesthood.
The most important exercise of the priesthood takes place in the family. Each husband and father in the Church should strive to be worthy to hold the Melchizedek Priesthood. With his wife as an equal partner, he presides in righteousness and love, serving as the family's spiritual leader. He leads the family in regular prayer, scripture study, and family home evening. He works with his wife to teach the children and help them prepare to receive the ordinances of salvation (see D&C 68:25–28). He gives priesthood blessings for direction, healing, and comfort.
Many members do not have faithful Melchizedek Priesthood holders in their homes. However, through the service of home teachers and priesthood leaders, all members of the Church can enjoy the blessings of priesthood power in their lives.
Priesthood Quorums
A priesthood quorum is an organized group of brethren who hold the same priesthood office. The primary purposes of quorums are to serve others, build unity and brotherhood, and instruct one another in doctrines, principles, and duties.
Quorums exist at all levels of Church organization. The President of the Church and his counselors form the Quorum of the First Presidency. The Twelve Apostles also form a quorum. Seventies, both General Authorities and Area Authorities, are organized into quorums. Each stake president presides over a quorum of high priests, made up of all the high priests in the stake. Each ward or branch normally has quorums of elders, priests, teachers, and deacons. High priests are also organized in wards, serving in high priests groups.
Home Teaching
From the time priesthood holders are ordained to the office of teacher, they have the opportunity and responsibility to serve as home teachers. In this way they work toward fulfilling their duty to "watch over the church always, and be with and strengthen them" (D&C 20:53).
Home teachers have a sacred duty to be the Church's first source of help to individuals and families. They visit their assigned members at least monthly. In serving and visiting their assigned members, they support parents in their responsibilities, teach the gospel to each family member, nurture friendships, and help members prepare to receive temple ordinances and live worthy of the blessings of the gospel.
Leaders in wards and branches ensure that home teachers are assigned to each family or individual. They follow up with home teachers to help meet each member's spiritual and temporal needs.
Priesthood Keys
The exercise of priesthood authority in the Church is governed by those who hold priesthood keys (see D&C 65:2; 124:123). Those who hold priesthood keys have the right to preside over and direct the Church within a jurisdiction. For example, a bishop holds priesthood keys that enable him to preside in his ward. Therefore, when a child in that ward is prepared to be baptized, the person baptizing the child must receive authorization from the bishop.
Jesus Christ holds all the keys of the priesthood. He has given His Apostles the keys that are necessary for governing His Church. Only the senior Apostle, the President of the Church, may use (or authorize another person to use) these keys for governing the entire Church (see D&C 43:1–4; 81:2; 132:7).
The President of the Church delegates priesthood keys to other priesthood leaders so they can preside in their areas of responsibility. Priesthood keys are bestowed on presidents of temples, missions, stakes, and districts; bishops; branch presidents; and quorum presidents. A person who serves in one of these positions holds the keys only until he is released. Counselors do not receive keys, but they do receive authority and responsibility by calling and assignment.
Exercising the Priesthood Righteously
Priesthood holders must remember that the priesthood should be a part of them at all times and in all circumstances. It is not like a cloak that can be put on and taken off at will. Any ordination to a priesthood office is a call to lifelong service, with the promise that the Lord will qualify priesthood holders to do His work according to their faithfulness.
Priesthood holders must be worthy in order to receive and exercise priesthood power. The words they speak and their everyday behavior affect their ability to serve. Their behavior in public must be above reproach. Their behavior in private is even more important. Through the Prophet Joseph Smith, the Lord declared that "the rights of the priesthood are inseparably connected with the powers of heaven, and that the powers of heaven cannot be controlled nor handled only upon the principles of righteousness" (D&C 121:36).
