I learned in church today

[Walter Sobchak]

Just got done with Sac Mtg here @ BYU Jerusalem. The closing hymn? Onwards Christian Soldiers.

Lol.

That I'm super paranoid about having our two month old at church. His first time. I've never heard (noticed?) so many coughs, sneezes, and sniffles before.

I didn't know you were going to BYU Jerusalem center.

Could you please pick me up one of those metal rings with my name written in Hebrew, a set of the pearl of great price facsimiles painted onto parchment, also a pair of those leather sandals with the toe strap. Thanks!

The "Follow The Prophet" memory game can be surprisingly difficult.

That is funny.

I learned in church today that I am not above holding up sacrament meeting for the entire congregation just so I can get the sacrament (irrespective of my beliefs). I'm here, I'm baptized, I deserve it, dang it!

(They ran out of water cups, and only my family was missed. When they asked if anybody didn't get it, I looked at my wife, who nonchalantly shrugged. But I raised my hand anyway, knowing full well they had to go to the preparation closet, fill up a bunch of cups and say the prayer all over again. Oh, and that today is the primary program so it's already going to go way super over.)

Those cards would make a sweet t shirt.

My grandma used to always tell me that face cards were of the devil.

This was at a wedding on Friday but since the wedding was at the chapel I will put it in this thread.

The bishop was officiating the marriage and while impressing everyone by reading off his iPad, he ended the ceremony by the "authority as an elder in the church of Jesus Christ of latter-day saints."

After the wedding I asked and he confirmed that any elder in the church is authorized in the US to perform marriages. I didn't know this. For some reason I thought you had to have some sort of license, even if granted over the Internet.

If this is the case, why do people always ask the bishop to conduct these chapel weddings? Why don't we see dads marrying off their sons or daughters? I would think that it would be seen more frequently but as it is, I've never seen it happen. Maybe this authority isn't well known.

Instead of going to Vegas for a quickie marriage and annulment why weren't guys at BYU marrying their roommate and girlfriend for the evening and then the next evening that roommate could do the same for him. You could chip in and share the cost of a wedding dress you kept in the apartment so the girl really did feel like it was a special night.

I was asked to give the closing prayer in sac mtg today and when the closing hymn started I realized that my right leg was completely asleep (darn those hard benches!). I frantically tried to stretch it and wiggle it to get the blood flowing. I was able to hobble up to the pulpit but I looked like Chester from the old Gunsmoke series.

You should have prayed for the feeling to come back into your leg while you were there.

Maybe that was the spirit trying to keep you from saying the prayer.

The marriage is the easy part...it's the annulment that's a bitch. You probably have to be at least a high priest to pull one of those off.
