I learned in church today

[Moliere]

I learned that the spirits in the spirit world us our physical buildings to hold church meetings. I'm now hoping they are meetings closer to what is done in rest homes in Utah county...

That amusing and awkward moment of running into the non-part member of the part member family that you visited a couple of weeks ago with the Elder's quorum presidency at Costco on a beautiful Sunday morning.

I was thinking:

"Jump in, let's go
Lay back, enjoy the show
Everybody gets high, everybody gets low,
These are the days when anything goes"

I was thinking, "God I feel like hell tonight..."

Maybe all she wants to do is have some fun.

[RC Vikings]

“It's not having what you want, it's wanting what you have!”

Is the correct answer.

[TripletDaddy]

Hmm.

I would have went with "god I feel like hell tonight."

I was saving that one until I had to talk.

I was going to go with "My friend the communist.."

My 3rd Sunday lesson went so well that in the closing prayer the speaker said "Bless Brother Clack for his great lessons he gives us when it's his turn..."

So today we attended and they had a group of 10-11 yr-old primary girls sing a few numbers. Then they started the meeting and we had a short welcome from the branch president and then the sacrament. Then a 14-yr-old kid gave a great talk on gratitude and when he sat down the adult speaker stood up and said "Well it seems we are over our time limit so I am going to scrap my talk and just bear my testimony.". When he said that I looked at the clock and noted that the meeting had been going for 32 minutes. We were done in 35. Mind blown.

Seriously, someone noticed the time and scrapped their entire talk?

You, sir, have witnessed a miracle.

In my ward, the visiting high councilman went on for 15 minutes past when the meeting was supposed to end. This has always been annoying, but with three kids under 6, I want to murder people who do this.

I just leave once their time is up.

I learned that a member of the Stake Presidency can trace his geneology all the way back to Adam in 129 generations.

I remember a family history teacher telling us that whenever a new general authority is called, they are presented with a book listing their genealogy all the way back to Adam. I guess my question is, why stop at Adam? I would have been more impressed if they would have kept going.

Speaking of genealogy, I only yesterday checked out the church's familysearch site. It's pretty cool. A quick perusal confirmed what I had long suspected: I am a direct descendant of ancient Irish and Scottish kings who were important enough to merit their own Wikipedia pages. So, I guess you could say my regal bearing has a genetic explanation.

Come to think of it, I am happy to continue to associate with those of you that come from peasant stock, but, please, let's not get overly familiar.

Nearly every person living the in US in the 1830's could do the same. Royalty bloodlines are well documented and going back 20 generations, you have a million people on your family tree. Chances are you have English royalty on one of them. And that's the bloodline people talk about when they say it traces back to Adam.

So assuming that a generation is about 30 years (or less)... based on the average age of child birth.

In developed nations the average familial generation length is in the high 20s and has even reached 30 years in some nations.

Adam lived on the earth less than 3900 years ago.

Dear Mr. Santos,

I will thank you to peddle your crass genetic egalitarianism elsewhere.
