I learned in church today

[falafel]

My youngest went into our nursery last week for the first time. I have been undecided on trying for a 4th kid, but I miss my excuse to skip SS and Priesthood.

This might be one of those situations where its better to lease than to buy.

Yeah. Plus it only really buys me another 18 months.

Never stop trying. You may or may not want to stop succeeding.

I'll ruin your day by suggesting you go to one of those online college cost calculators. I've got two kids that are college age and two more in Jr High/HS. One of the "blessings" of kids serving a mission is that they are a lot cheaper than tuition with room and board and allows us to "catch-up" for when they are back in school. Recently, we did some financial projections and the spouse lamanted about having three kids in college at the same time for a couple of years. She exclaimed, "How did that happen?! My response, "It happened the moment you won "the debate" about having a 4th child".

I have 3 girls. Like the good Mormon chauvinist that I am, I encourage them to make themselves attractive and marry money.

I will soon welcome you to my world. Of course, I currently have two kids in college and one on a mission.

Encourage them to marry in the temple and have receptions in the church cultural hall as well.

Good luck - I mean it. Not a bad strategy. However, if they marry young their best chance at marrying money is in a university setting where potential money is being educated. I dunno, people are marrying later now. Perhaps it's best to make sure the money gets his education first. I have a son on a medical school track that I'm concerned about socially. If he finishes med-school and is still single, I might see if any CS daughters of Zion are available.

We had a "Footprints in the Sand" quote in sacrament meeting today. Unfortunately, it wasn't the Sandpeople version.

Please correct the speaker on why there was only one set of footprints.

"If this isn't te true church and God does reincarnation or some other craziness, he's bringing me back as a Jewish mother. Because I will use guilt to motivate."

I learned that Judaism is where reincarnation is taught.

direct quote from the 1st counselor in the bishopric:

I wish that I had a better memory. If I had a better memory then I wouldn't forget after six months how I feel during General Conference and I would then travel to Salt Lake and I would camp out for the best seats in the house and I would treat the speakers like rock stars. It's incredible that we don't do that already.

direct quote from the 1st counselor in the bishopric:

Nice. He gets the gold medal for piousness.

this guy has a few doozies, like his first fast and testimony where he declared that the spirit had revealed to him that he would serve in the bishopric before he was even called.

[Clark Addison]

direct quote from the 1st counselor in the bishopric:

Set a reminder to send him an email in 5 months reminding him of this. Then ask him why he didn't go this time.
