      You are aware that they sell that (Dave's) at Costco? Tough to get more mass produced than that.

      We like it too, btw.

      • ... that some parents evidently think it's acceptable to drop their 15-month old off at nursery, saying "We just wanted to get him started a few months early."

          Or that piper cubs are doing f-18 jobs.

          It was an ill-conceived metaphor to begin with and even though he steered away from that type of comparison, it was there, staring everyone in the face like a poor lost kitten waiting to be picked up and loved.

            I may have to reread the talk, but it was a metaphor for Church wards/branches, right?

            The F-18 wards are full of experienced Church members and have every calling filled plus had to make up a few extra callings. The piper cubs would be the little branches with very few members and struggling members.

            • Pres Monson received revalation to lower the missionary age to 18. If TWD knew about this a year ago I wonder why SLC is slow doing the Lords will.

                • After 7 months of flying under the radar in my new ward, I finally have a calling. I'm not adverse to serving, but I was enjoying the relative anonymity.

                    Aw, man! Here I was thinking the cheesy logo/slogans and high price were sure-fire signs of a local producer! Oh well. It's good bread.

                      • I came in late to sunday school and the teacher was discussing how the largest and fastest growing religion in the U.S. is "non-believers" and how this has and will affect the morality of society. One lady piped up, "Well they already elected a black muslim as president so it can't get much worse!" I leaned over to my wife and said I am out of hear and got up and left. My wife followed me out a few minutes later. My wife said that she is sick of all of the political talk in sunday school and that she doesn't want to go back.

                        Forward a few hours later that day, the first counselor in the bishipric stops by our house and extends the calling to my wife of gospel doctrine teacher for the very class that she doesn't want to return to. She accepted, but this might be train wreck waiting to happen.

                          Actually, I wonder if the 1C is wanting your wife to take more control over the conversation. The teacher is in a place to do that. If I were teaching and that lady said what she said I'd be pretty quick to remind people to "think before they speak so other people don't find out how unintelligent you are."

We cannot expect to experience the blessing of faith by standing inactive on the sidelines any more than we can experience the benefits of health by sitting on a sofa watching sporting events on television and giving advice to the athletes. And yet for some, “spectator discipleship” is a preferred if not primary way of worshipping." -Pres. Uchtdorf

                          • Ok, I just learned it today, but I'm putting it here anyway.

                            Yesterday I was a substitute in my daughter's primary class (all by myself, and with the door shut). After we finished the lesson, I killed the last 5 minutes by showing the kids a slight of hand trick where I make my wedding ring disappear. My daughter has seen it a million times, but still loves it. The other kids were blown away. I probably did the trick 5-6 times, each time "finding" the ring in a different place--my shirt pocket, under the table, in the trash can, behind a kid's ear, etc.

                            I just got a text from Mrs. Donut. Apparently the mother of one of the kids was just called down to the elementary to take her son to the ER because he stuffed a piece of paper too far down his ear and the teacher couldn't get it out.When his mom asked him what he was doing, he told her he was trying to do a magic trick. The kid is in second grade, btw.

                              I do this trick where it looks like I shove an ink pen up my nose and pull it out of my mouth. The primary kids go apespit when I do it. On more than one occasion, I've been told by an angry mother that her child cut their nose trying my trick. I make sure to tell them that I have special tubes I had put in when I was in the circus, and that they won't be able to do it. But, kids are kids.

                              • Putting together my Primerica lesson, topic is Sacrament.

                                There is a lesson point that instructs the teacher to "tell the children that after each Apostle had eaten a piece of bread, Jesus blessed a drink made from grapes and gave it to his Apostles."

                                I guess we aren't supposed to say "wine?"

                                What makes this odd is that as part of the same lesson, we are to read from the D&C 20 sacrament prayers.

                                I'm throwing caution to the wind and using the word "wine" in my lesson.
