"The first thing I learned upon becoming a head coach after fifteen years as an assistant was the enormous difference between making a suggestion and making a decision."
"They talk about the economy this year. Hey, my hairline is in recession, my waistline is in inflation. Altogether, I'm in a depression."
"I like to bike. I could beat Lance Armstrong, only because he couldn't pass me if he was behind me."

Originally posted by byu71 View PostI wish I had caught onto your humor earlier. It is really pretty good.
What do you think I have been meaning all this time when I would tell SeattleUte that I loved his style?
His knack for pseudo Anti-mormonism is a machination and a gift at the same time.
As we saw recently, it is very difficult to create a SeattleUte forgery. And it is impossible to create one that would pass any serious level of scrutiny.
I don't think there is anyone here that can turn any post....any thread....into a philosophical discussion about the failings of Mormonism. Threads about cemeteries, education, politics, art, movies, books, old people...even the NBA....I have seen SeattleUte turn all of these things into attacks on Mormonism. It is really staggering, if you think about it. That is not easy to do.Fitter. Happier. More Productive.

I thought I would find a few images of the ward building I used to attend in Washington. For sure that building was what made me appreciate what the asthetic of a church building could bring to worship. Here are a few from the Tacoma Public Library Photo Archive:
This one ended up being the Relief Society room
The foyer. The curtains on the left open up on a window to the chapel
The chapel. After a renovation the wall on the left could be lowered to accomodate an overflow crowd. I remember some crazy things being said from that pulpit
The cultural hall. Obviously, basketball hoops were later attached to the ceiling
An outside shot. I don't recognize what they have done on the right side of the building. At one point someone in the planning division of the church really wanted to tear the building down but someone higher up than that canceled that plan.

It really isn't that hard if you just let your "inner child" run wild.
