I learned in church today

[Sleeping in EQ]

The sabbath is like Jesus,ms birthday, don,t observe it properly not celebrating his birthday how would you feel if it wasn't,t celebrated yours. Missionary serving said that.

The Sabbath is made for man, not for know-it-all, zealot, teenager missionaries.

Checking in live from "New Beginnings". Is this supposed to be a woman-only thing? About 50 people in the chapel, and aside from the bishop, only two men. The other one doesn't really speak English, so he may have wandered in by mistake.

First time I have ever sung "As Sisters in Zion", I am pretty sure. Enjoyed singing the lines "As sisters in Zion we'll all work together" as well as "this is a gift that, as sisters, we claim". Barely made it through. No bass part in this song, so I really needed to belt it out when it got to the high notes.

The Laurel president who is conducting asked everyone to stand up to recite the YW theme, so I stood up, with all the women. Bishop and the other man stayed sitting. Are men not supposed to stand for YW theme? Did I commit a faux pas? Plus I didn't even know the theme so I had to just stand there, and could not participate in the Stepfordish recitation.

this is almost as good as landpoke posting from a bar, except way more boring.

Crap. Just noticed YW theme is printed on back of program.

Were I a snarky teen in attendance tonight, I would have snickered at CA's tasks. But then, snarky teens snicker at everything. The adult me would not.

Introducing the girls who turn 12 this year. Woman behind me keeps applauding after every on, but she is African American/new convert, so no one has the guts to call her out on it.

It's like the spirit of Alvin Dyer is completely dead in this ward.

Four daughters and various callings caused me to attend a surfeit of Standards Nights, and I always struggled with whether to stand and recite. But I always enjoyed singing "As Sisters in Zion." I'd cinch up the pants and really go for it in the higher registers. The only thing that bugged my wife more was when I'd grab her biceps and press against her side while singing, "Lean on My Ample Arm."

I went out with his granddaughter once. Awesome boobs. (That I never touched).

[San Juan Sun]

As a young man, I didn't have any active members in my home. Our Standards Night was on the normal Wednesday night, and I showed up in shorts. I was asked to leave.

This explains my poor standards.

No updates in 30+ minutes??? Is it over? What the hell, Clark?

Maybe he's asleep?

Maybe he's asleep?

Okay, that's an acceptable excuse. And likely true.
