I learned in church today

[YOhio]

We're that noisy family in sacrament meeting.

I feel your pain. It would be so nice to once again be bored during sacrament meeting.

I was handed two church surveys when I walked in the chapel doors this morning. Looks like SLC is trying to gather some information on members and callings and especially those in leadership callings.

I had to return the surveys before leaving so I couldn't give any questions.

We are the family that shows up at the end of Sacrament. I don't feel like spending an hour roaming the halls with our two youngest.

Move to Eugene, people would think you are pillars of reverence next to us. :frustrated:

At least ldc is firmly opposed to being in the foyer, at church not on CS.

Gidget remarked that at least they're all girls. If we had boys then we'd really get the stink eye.

As the father of 5, and a longtime attendee of Sacrament meeting, I've no problem with kids learning at their own pace about how to worship at Sacrament Meeting. The key is repetitive attendance and a gradual awakening to the soul over many years. Old people love helping kids to learn worship behaviour, and kids need the context of watching others in an example of years of dedicated church attendance. It's a win win. And besides, I've never met a person who was mad that someones kids were too fussy during church.

Have more... I love watching kids grow up a week at a time.

Good words. I agree.

We are that noisy family as well. What's sad is that there are a couple families with crazier kids than ours, but those kids are a lot better behaved than my kids in Sacrament meeting. Even sadder is that my older kids, who should know better, are just as bad as my toddlers. Ugh.

I spoke in church. I was awesome.

[Pheidippides]

I learned that a side effect of the new missionary policy is that the attractiveness quotient of the sisters in my ward has gone way up. Both my wife and I have noticed this.

[SCcoug]

I'm getting the "if church talks or lessons suck you're doing it wrong as a listener" lesson.

[Pelado]

I learned that, contrary to what my wife told me, my niece's baby blessing is next week, not this week.

Our SS lesson today was anything but boring. Topic was the United Order/Law of Consecration and we had a roomful of well-known Utah conservative political leaders. It is fascinating to see how people dance around and wrestle with the topic of divine socialism. I thought the discussion was reasonable tame overall but there were a few political comments. Finally, a sister in the back raised her hand and chewed everyone out for being so negative about the topic and not being Christlike. It was an incredible self-righteous rebuke. By this time the poor teacher was frazzled and ended the class early even though there were lots of hands being raised.

Wonderful. I have to teach this lesson next week.

I learned that my Elders Quorum cannot hold a tune unless there's a piano playing.
