I learned in church today

[pellegrino]

I accepted. I hope you both are right or else guess who gets to Skype in and substitute?

only if it coincides with my 3 hour block. In other words, keep us updated on your adventures in primaryland.

The YW Prez spoke about how if our youth read The Work & Glory they will appear smart for reading thick books with many volumes and also be able to resist the temptation of cute college boys that want to take them into the woods and get them drunk.

[Non Sequitur]

I hate children generally

You are an interesting guy, niku.

I'm with Niku. Kids are fine, but they shouldn't be allowed in public places. And if we do need to allow them in public, let's at least come up with some leash laws.

this was my tactic.

I just learned that the Lord wants me to teach in Primary.

I did a 5 year stint in primary. Best 5 years of my life. It's a free ticket out of GD and EQ. One thing I noticed was that you can have all sorts of power if you show up every week or get a substitute when you are gone. I did this and I was basically given carte blanche on bringing treats or having class outside. The Primary Presidency was afraid to tell me to stop bringing treats (the stake was cracking down on treat bringers) because I was one of the only guys that actually did my calling in primary.

Currently I leave GD and EQ whenever I want. Now I have a calling, as well.

[Pheidippides]

You will be a great primary teacher.

Lol. That sounded harsher than it should. What I should have said is that I'm not fond of children who aren't my own - I don't "love" kids or just hanging around with them, and they find my continual sarcasm off-putting (again, except my own, who know what I'm about). But in spite of my generally low tolerance for children, I enjoyed primary very much.

On the bright side, this means I'll never be mistaken for a member of NAMBLA. And parents don't have to worry about leaving their kids alone with me - I want no part of that.

I didn't learn this in church, but I learned it in passing at church. We are not to ask the youth in the church, specifically the YW to help clean the building because requiring them to get up at 9:00 am on a weekend could ultimately lead to mental problems.

Noah would agree that this applies to YM as well.

Hey, those kids have to get up at 5 a.m. every day for seminary and then probably pretty early again on Sunday for church. Let them have Saturday to sleep in. Let them clean the church at 11.

Or not at all, which is what the suggestion from their leaders was.

I learned today that it's quite easy to leverage the need I have to clear rocks from my unfinished back yard against my Deacon's need to do a fund raiser. Yes I'm going to pay the Deacons to pick rock and they in turn will turn the dough over to the bishop to be used to help a needy family for Christmas.

[MarkGrace]

I learned that Buddy Holly was that rock and roll guy in Nirvana. A 4 year old made me aware of this.

This reminds me of a class I took at the U where the professor asked the class what was the most influential book they'd read. One dude said The Work & Glory seres. The professor (who I happened to know is LDS) had commented on every response to that point. He just sat there with a pained, confused look for a moment, then called on the next student.

I learned once again that my neighbor across the street is a dick.
