I interrupted the reading of the ETB manual today to make a comment, afterwards the stake HC guy came up to me and said "You have a way of saying things that would make most people seem like apostates, without sounding like one." I invited him to join CS.

In other news, the ward has been holding emergency preparedness fair the last two weeks, and no one shows but members of the ward council and their families. The question was posed: is it worth it?

I am finding that my motivation to invest time and energy in reactivation efforts is pretty much gone. I feel like those efforts are unwanted and it seems like the "success" stories are very short lived. It probably has a lot to do with the ward's demographic make-up, but tracking down folks who don't want to be found is a losing battle.

We had a non-member speak today. Probably a CHOI violation, but he gave an awesome talk."There is no creature more arrogant than a self-righteous libertarian on the web, am I right? Those folks are just intolerable."
"It's no secret that the great American pastime is no longer baseball. Now it's sanctimony." -- Guy Periwinkle, The Nix.

Sometime in the last 5~10 years, "crap" became an acceptable word to use in sacrament talks. I heard it about 4 times from the youth speakers today. Along with a passable impression of the stake patriarch.Originally posted by Jeff Lebowski View Post"Jesus the Christ is soooooo good. It uplifted the crap out of me!"

I once had a bishop that used "BFE" a couple times in meetings....but unfortunately never in sacrament meeting. I don't think he knew what it acronymically stood for.Originally posted by LVAllen View PostSometime in the last 5~10 years, "crap" became an acceptable word to use in sacrament talks.

We cannot expect to experience the blessing of faith by standing inactive on the sidelines any more than we can experience the benefits of health by sitting on a sofa watching sporting events on television and giving advice to the athletes. And yet for some, “spectator discipleship” is a preferred if not primary way of worshipping." -Pres. Uchtdorf
