I learned in church today

[ewth8tr]

I learned that the Book of Mormon on CD is 29 hours long, so we are going to have a ward book of mormon read-a-thon that will last 29 hours over 3 days. Uh, yeah, I think I'm gonna skip this one.

That is so COOL!!!!

NOT!

[DU Ute]

I learned that the first thing you're supposed to do when given a subject for a talk is to look that word up in the dictionary.

We marched right down the middle of the Excalibur casino this morning in our Sunday clothes on the way to the car to go to church in Vegas. My daughter was proudly clutching her scriptures.

Kind of weird to drive past all of the strip clubs and adult megastores on your way to church. You gotta love Vegas.

Do you get to bring beanbags and treats?

That's funny. For some reason, I didn't picture you as a go to church on vacation guy. That would be a pretty funny sight watching you guys roll through the casino in your sunday's best.

So you are going to listen to it together as a ward? If that is the case, most people will make it through maybe 1 Nephi before realizing they still haven't even begun with Almas 63 chapters. In other words, it wont last more than 1 hour.

You should have gone to Donut or falafel's ward.

They are apparently piping it through the speakers throughout the ward except for in the chapel where people can go to sit and quietly read. I still can't believe anyone thought this was a good idea.

I'm guessing the youth will especially love this.

Talk about missing the mark. Somehow I don't think this is what the leaders of the church have in mind when they counsel us to "read the Book of Mormon." Is this intended to be a substitution for a daily scripture study over the course of a year?

I learned that you can't judge a book by it's cover - or a speaker by her (or his) title. Stake visitors talked. 1st counselor in the Stake RS gave a talk. I've never seen her before. She looked smart (maybe even 'wicked smaht'). Her talk sucked though. Rambling. Doctrinal flaws. Questionable discussion of Temple rites (IMO - you can quote PoGP verbatim and not mention the temple, and be on perfectly solid ground. But when you say 'in the temple we learn... <quote from PoGP> you're going off into uncharted waters...). Topic was supposed to be on receiving revelation in our lives, but ended up being really about the evils of card playing and dressing immodestly. She was all over the place. It was a wild ride...

The visiting HC gave a fabulous talk, as always. He's a really likeable guy. Very doctrinally sound. Tells good stories. Very engaging speaker. I really like when he speaks.

Get it on MP3 and speed up the playback. I bet you can do it in 22 hours...

You didn't happen to be with a big group (i.e. not just your immediate family) that left right after sacrament meeting, did you? My ward would have been a straight shot up Hacienda from the Excalibur and probably the closest chapel.
