Today in the Bloggernacle

Tuesday, Nov. 10Mormon Messages: \"The LDS Church's Mormon Messages channel was

just named the 'Best

Use of YouTube' at the 2009 Utah Social Media Awards,\" reports LDS

Media Talk. Congrats, Mormon Messages, for this well-deserved honor!

Sesame Street: In honor of the 40th anniversary of Sesame Street, I found this post from a few months ago that wonders about a \"Sesame Street Approach to Primary.\" BiV explains, \"The reason I mention Sesame Street in connection with Primary is because I have heard a lot of complaining about how difficult it is for adults who have Primary callings to spend the majority of their church instructional time with the little children. Primary workers often feel a void in their spiritual and social needs, and a Sesame Street approach could help.\" Mormon poet: In the same vein of choosing the Great Mormon Novel, this blogger wonders about  \"Lance Larsen: The Great Mormon Poet?\" Here is an example of his work from his poem \"Interview\" depicting a Mormon missionary: \"He wants / to build a church for her out of words, invite her to pass inside.\"Stakes discontinued: How many stakes would you guess have been discontinued this year? As of last week, when there was a \"Stake Discontinued in Dominican Republic,\" there

have been three. While it's unfortunate when any stake is discontinued,

\"so far 2009 is shaping out to be the year with the fewest stakes

discontinued since 1999 when only two stakes were discontinued. The

last year in which no stakes were discontinued was 1997.\"
