Ain't it like most people, I'm no different. We love to talk on things we don't know about.

I learned that the speaker, who was new to the ward, not only attended Harvard but earned his master's degree from Harvard. I also learned that he is a fantasy novelist. I learned all of that within the first two minutes. Sadly, the rest of his talk did not do his resume justice."The mind is not a boomerang.

Currently sitting in sacrament meeting in a new ward after a huge stake boundary re-org.
To answer everyone’s most urgent concern, Parrot Head and I are still in the same ward.
This is the fourth split/boundary change since we have lived here. We are now back in a ward that we were founding members of ten years or so ago.
Anyway, the bishop just made a comment that inspired this post. We are on the 1:00 schedule, and due to a dearth of people in callings, we only have sacrament meeting today (yay!). As he stood up to bear his testimony, he said “since we have no other meetings today, we can go as late as 2:30 with your testimonies”.
I could have sworn that my 13 year old daughter never lets a word of sacrament meeting penetrate her brain, but I guess I was wrong because she jerked her head up in shock, and turned to me with a look of despair.
The next 45 minutes will go a long way in determining how I feel about this new ward. If the members take the bishop’s words to heart and we have a 90 minute F&T meeting, I don’t know if I will ever be able to fit in here.

General Conference never runs late. At times, it ends early. We review conference talks half the month. You would think we would follow the example of the brethren in time management as well.Originally posted by Clark Addison View PostCurrently sitting in sacrament meeting in a new ward after a huge stake boundary re-org.
