Celestial University with a Twist

I’ve been looking for a spiritual series for this blog, now that I’ve fixed more kinks in being unable to see it, on my laptop.  If you know of any blog-type programs that are spiritually goal setting, please leave me a comment because adapting this one may prove to be more than I can handle..

Celestial University [pdf] is an LDS woman’s “Pursuit of Excellence.” I’ve decided to twist it to become more well-rounded in the studies I have going on now.  I am not sticking to the complete LDS version to accomplish this, but I am using the degree program as a guide for my journey.

The hardest part is incorporating my other spiritual growth studies to this in place of some of the more direct LDS philosophies.

In this program, you start by working towards a Bachelors degree, by choosing  major:

  • 8 goals in a chosen major college
  • 5 goals in College of Theology
  • 3 goals in each other College
  • 1 Project/Presentation

A Masters Degree

Add 2 goals to your major, 2 to Theology, 2 to other colleges or:

  • 10 goals in chosen major college
  • 7 goals in college of Theolgy
  • 5 goals from other colleges
  • 1 project/presentation
  • 1 demonstration

To receive a Doctorate in Celestial University

Add 2 more goals in each college:

  • 12 goals in chosen major
  • 9 goals in College of Theology
  • 7 goals in other collleges

The Degrees offered include:

  • College of Theology
  • College of Fine Arts
  • College of Applied Arts
  • College of Business and Economics
  • College of Home Economics/Cooking
  • College of Home Economics/Sewing
  • College of Interior Design
  • College of Language Arts
  • College of Physical Education
  • College of Social Science
  • College of Pyschology
  • College of Career Development

There are charts to record your progress and items to choose in each University. Now to figure out how to diversify them to not all LDS topics.

Oops! This blog wasn’t crashed, after all..

A few months ago, my blogs were hacked and many of them crashed. Upon moving them to the new hosting provider, this blog seemed to not recover the crash.

It turns out that only MY computer couldn’t see the blog, because of something to do with my cache.

So, all this time I thought this blog was gone and yet it wasn’t.

So, I’m back now.. looking for a spiritual series to work on.

Books on the Nightstand

I don’t really have a nightstand, so I didn’t say “my nightstand.” heh :)

Now that we’ve survived the hack and invastion of privacy in blog land, I can return to posting.

I’ve had much success, lately, with paperbackswap.

Yesterday, I received What Da Vinci Didn’t Know: an LDS perspective.

I add this book to my pile of religious reading, that includes:

  • Jesus The Christ by James E. Talmage (on my 101 in 1001 days goals)
  • Reexploring The Book of Mormon
  • Rediscovering The Book of Mormon
  • Book of Mormon Stories for Young Latter-day Saints
  • The Miracle of Forgiveness by Spencer W. Kimball
  • The World’s Religions by Huston Smith

I don’t, usually, have so much specific LDS reading.  I have, yet, to find authentic Eastern Orthodox material to read offline.  I’d like to have something tangible that taught me the vocabulary and spoke in simple English.
