    Unlike in some fringe stakes where it is encouraged, role playing activities are expressly prohibited in my stake.

    There's three rules that I live by: never get less than twelve hours sleep; never play cards with a guy who's got the same first name as a city; and never go near a lady's got a tattoo of a dagger on her body. Now you stick to that, everything else is cream cheese. --Coach Finstock

        All I know is that role playing is encouraged in my diocese stake.
        "...you pointy-headed autopsy nerd. Do you think it's possible for you to post without using words like "hilarious," "absurd," "canard," and "truther"? Your bare assertions do not make it so. Maybe your reasoning is too stunted and your vocabulary is too limited to go without these epithets."

          I think there was the impression that the stake was endorsing men to grow period appropriate beards through November in hope that they would be selected in the production. I'm grateful that our area authorities are so involved in their wards and stakes.

            Just call it a scouting activity and not a church activity. Done!

                So the lesson today is living a Christ centered life and then most of the discussion was from the teachings of Peter. We talked about the virtues as outlined by Peter but Christ and his life were hardly brought up. I usually enjoy the lesson before Christmas because i can count on a lesson about Christ but the one today was sorely lacking.

                  Same lesson, Christ's life was central to the teaching. Instructor started out with some very lame jokes about the game.

                  For all this His anger is not turned away, but His hand is stretched out still.

                  Not long ago an obituary appeared in the Salt Lake Tribune that said the recently departed had "died doing what he enjoyed most—watching BYU lose."

                    Didn't make it to church today, as I was flying back to Utah on Southwest. Kicked back a FULL can of Coke Zero (thanks to Old Gregg for the Pro tip!)

                      I'm disappointed my flight this week isn't on Southwest

                        Ha, our instructor tried to talk about the game too. "Much like what Utah should've done, we just need to keep going and keep pushing forward, not sit back and hold on." He got a lot of confused looks, so I bailed him out with the old John Madden quote..."you are what your record says you are" and applied that to the level of focus we should have on developing Christ-like attributes.

                        Well, because he thought it was good sport. Because some men aren't looking for anything logical, like money. They can't be bought, bullied, reasoned, or negotiated with. Some men just want to watch the world burn.

                          I only heard two comments about the game while at church yesterday. The first was from one of only two ute fans in the ward (he's semi-active but of course was early to church yesterday) and the second was from a USU fan

                            As we were walking into the game, an obviously inebriated Ute was hassling someone wearing a Utah Jazz hat. Turns out he was a USU fan. Not sure if he was meeting up with anyone else, or just coming to watch the game by himself.
