Give a long and earnest talk about the chocolate-covered seer stone and the wonders of the gift of translation. Go the entire talk referencing the seer stone as chocolate-covered and then see how long it takes for someone to correct you during sunday school or EQ.

Go with what you know. I've composed (but not reduced to writing) a talk about cycling analogies including the several benefits of drafting. I also like the concept that (esp. in mountain biking) your focus needs to be on the line that you want follow, not on the hazards on either side, as one naturally drifts in the direction one's looking, or one overreacts in the opposite direction. Keep hazards in the periphery but focus on where you want to go (or, stop focusing on all the Don'ts in the church and focus on the Do's). I have many more, including the value of caffeinated energy drinks and gels.

What about urinating from the rear of the pack, not the front?

How about in your heart, after much prayer, you know when God rested on Sunday he played a round of golf.

If I stay with a sports theme I may go with this, that golf is only work if you're grinding for a score so I don't keep score when I play on Sundays so I really am resting from my labours.

That's right after GC. You should have your pick of talks to speak about. No need to limit yourself to just one either.

I would have to listen to one of them first and I'm not sure they have the printed versions out that fast.

The whole drafting thing, going back for the slow and unattached, like you said looking out for hazards and warning others of what is up ahead and I like the idea of working getting a caffeinated boost in there. I think I can do for the fifteen minutes.

I've thought of opening it up for a question and answer session much like a Saturday night stake conference meeting and having someone open up with a question about the stone.

What about urinating from the rear of the pack, not the front?

That's a pretty good analogy, I need to figure out how to work that in there.

That would require him to attend more than the first hour of church.

You could also add some wisdom from Greg Lemond that if you keep the furnace hot enough, you can burn anything, including a few suds at the end of the ride.

they could correct him in absentia.

I suppose this would also fit well in the Tent City thread, but today I learned that all of our current apostles have seen the end of times and they know what is going to happen. So we would be quite foolish not to heed every word they say, as they are giving us the information we'll need to prepare ourselves for that day.

Straight from the mouth of the SP.

You know they've had access to that seer stone.

Since my parents are married I can,t say step dad is not my Dad and can,t tell me what to do. Speaker spoke on importance of families, and sealing power. Youth speaker who just moved into ward following remarriage. Step Dad list wife and daughter in Christas a Day accident so blended family there.

I learned that the fine people of Mendon, UT are very inviting to visitors. 2nd block of church I've caught this month. Trying not to make it a habit. :P

Lloyd Christmas summed up the p-hood/RS lesson today.

[Dwight Schr-ute]

I learned in church today

This was last Sunday since this Sunday consisted mostly of sweating my ass off in record temps standing in line for Mickey's f'ing Fun Wheel.

By some lapse in judgement, I sat through Gospel Doctrine. The lesson covered the Acts portion of the stoning of Stephen. The point was made that with the ministry of Christ, the leadership within the Scribes and Pharisees were so in trenched in their traditions and history that they couldn't accept a new version of the gospel. They were so afraid of this movement that they aggressively sought out the disciples of Christ, like Stephen, and killed them. This is exactly why it is SO important to listen to and follow the prophet.

Exactly my thoughts while sitting through the same lesson. I'm not saying we need to view every Julie Rowe as a prophet, but maybe hardline sticking to the traditions of the past merely because they are traditions isn't the greatest way to run things.
