I learned in church today

[RC Vikings]

Once again I throw out some questions today in HP group and after the meeting I'm given two references to McConkie talks and one to a Packer talk. My HP group loves these two.

We had an awesome lesson today in GD. We've made it through the lesson book so today was an open lesson written by the teacher. It was very good and makes me wish the teacher would take more liberty more of the time.

I learned that if you do your mission in Australia, even a month after you come back, you will speak in a full blown Australian accent. It's a shame because I think the RM who spoke with the HC rep did an excellent job, but speaking with that heavy Australian accent, I just couldn't take him seriously.

I learned that after you die, the first thing that happens to you on the other side of the veil is that they ask you for your temple recommend. If you have one, they immediately put you to work.

I learned that a flock of larks is called an "exaltation" which is pretty damned cool to know.

I don't know how awesome my lesson was but I did the same. In fact, we ditched the lesson altogether and just chatted about who we like the church. It was the best lesson we've had in some time.

Must be something in the fountain water. I teach GD, and I dispensed with the lesson too. We just talked about what we've grown to appreciate about the New Testament this year. And then we had a closing prayer and fellowshipped for 30 minutes.

That would have been awesome to hear. He was probably trying to impress a girl.

Which makes you wonder why he hasn seen more playing time while Jake and Riley have struggled.

It's to bad he didn't speak normal during his talk and then throw in his Australian accent when he bore his testimony. That would have been awesome.

Must be all the time spent together playing MW3....

Seriously, though, it was one of the best lessons we've had. Made me appreciate the fellowship we have at church.

Apparently you did not learn.

I went through a phase in college wherein I tried to memorize as many collective nouns as possible. Turned out to be relatively useless, like most of the information in my head. The lark thing stems from James Lipton's book of the same name (yes, that James Lipton).

The impetus behind my quest to memorize can be traced to one of my then-fave discs, Counting Crows "August and Everything After." I didn't realize that the song "A Murder of One," was a reference to the collective noun for crows, that being a "murder," which is, in my opinion, one of the best collective nouns, as well as a business of flies (or ferrets). Learning that tidbit made the song title all the cooler, as I had previously assumed the title was simply a reference to murder.

After that, I decided it was time to learn more about collective nouns. Which lead me to several lists and published works, including James Lipton's tome.

While not relevant, it is also somewhat interesting to note that during my quest to learn collective nounds, I was sidetracked into memorizing license plate slogans for the 50 States.

Sting uses the same image in one of his songs - "All This Time." I agree that it is one of the best collective nouns.
