I learned in church today

[Donuthole]

I love this line from the CH:

"After a priesthood holder hands a sacrament tray to a member, others may pass the tray from one to another for convenience."

Well, it's hard to imagine any of the other alternatives being quite as convenient as handing the tray to the person next to you.

This was actually an issue in Guatemala. None of the members would touch the tray, forcing the deacons (or whatever priesthood members were passing the sacrament) to awkwardly walk down each row. I tried to get the SP to address this in church and tell the members they could pass the tray, but he didn't believe me.

I'll be dipped. And to think I've been trying to listen all this time.

Today in Sunbeams our lesson topic was "I Can Say I'm Sorry". We talked about how it is important to say you're sorry. We also discussed how you still might get a timeout even though you say you're sorry. Then we colored, played the matching game, had fruit snacks, and did a connect-the-dots.

Did he also berate the deacons for not holding their free hand behind their back while passing the sacrament?

It's kind of funny at this military branch I'm going to, full of young privates in training, to watch them pass the sacrament.

Of course there's also the private teaching priesthood meeting, and he talks to us using many of the same mannerisms of drill sergeants. That part's a little off putting. I cut a lot of slack for youth, God bless 'em.

Did any of the five-year-olds want to discuss the lesson in terms of Declaration 2?

I was visiting a ward in Uncle Ted's neck of the woods yesterday. I learned that I am very thankful for my own ward, where the sexism isn't quite so naked.

I learned there are about 300 LDS people in Malta.

Many adults at church could have used that same lesson.

I taught my wife's Primary 5 (D&C) lesson to 2 kids.. The lesson was Adam-Ondi-Ahman.. I learned that 2 boys age 9 to 10 Don't have much to say and there is nothing you can do to make a lesson fun for them..

I think they should never have a class less than 4 if possible..

I learned two things:

1. Zion's Camp was a big success regardless of the fact it failed in its actual goal.

2. Church makes me sick (I've actually known this for 4 years as I always come home with a pounding headache, but yesterday it was worse than usual).

You know what works for me when I have a church headache? A diet Coke and an aspirin. Just make sure you're sitting in the back of the room and that the can hasn't been shaken up beforehand (trust me on that one). Just cough loudly as you peel back the tab and no one's the wiser.

Whoa! Naked sexism? Where is that ward?

I hate to be Mr. Obvious but a single Tylenol Migraine pill has 65 mg of caffeine. I've found when I pop one before church, I feel like a new pair of shoes.
