I learned in church today

the For the Strength of Youth pamphlet is the Cliff's notes of the gospel.

I dominated the intermediate hymn standing game. I even RUTS standing for a full couple of seconds after everyone had been seated.

that's easy to do when you're in the foyer.

The Gospel According to Pharisees

That's the thing about the modesty essay in the other thread that just blows my mind: that type of judgmental and condescending attitude from a person who considers herself a model Christian -- incredible.

If you really think about it. On an eternal scale, fasting is really only abstaining from food for like a few seconds.

Perspective.

My wife spoke in stake conference last night and knocked it out of the park. Today we obtained the secret URL for the internet video feed for stake conf and we are watching at home in pajamas. A good weekend.

I knew it! That's what I told my husband when our stake center parking lot was only half full. "Some people are watching this at home, aren't they?"

Of course, it felt like I was the only one who heard BKP tell the story in which he encountered a sorry bunch of human beings... "The peasant type... Mexicans..."

I learned that it's a good thing I always have my phone on silent mode since one of my buddies in the congregation called me when I stood up to conduct.

I would have answered. "Hello Brother So and so. What can I do for you? Need another interview?"

One of my golfing buddies is the 1st Counselor. When we have a speaker who's out of control, I like to text him, and tell him to take control of the pulpit. He notices the vibrate, looks, smiles, and puts it back in his pocket.

I learned that I don't like it when families who take an extreme stance are held up as an example. Taking your kids out of every single extracurricular activity for an entire year seems a little nuts. I am all for moderation if it feels like your kids are into too many things, but turning it into zero things is the extreme.

The high councilor mentioned today that he gave a financial incentive to his teenage girls to not kiss anyone before their 18th birthday. He started with 16, but when his oldest met that, he upped the ante. He was so proud that his daughter set that "goal" and met it. Of course, he has no similar incentives for his sons.

When the seminary kids pray for school to be canceled because of a typhoon, school can be canceled.

Follow her counsel and your kid ends up at UVU (not that there's anything wrong with that). Even moderation puts your kid's BYU application in the questionable pile. When the BYU admissions office starts taking this counsel seriously then perhaps I will.

I thought she made it very clear that was just that one family and made a point to say that isn't what every family should do, but they should carefully consider what is best for them. If that was what worked for that particular family, more power to them. It's not a decision I would ever make and doesn't sound like one you would ever make, but for them it worked. Seems pretty bizarre to me too, but based on the way she qualified her statements, I don't have a problem with it.
