I learned in church today

[wuapinmon]

We need to live our lives in the Gospel, "All in," from the Bishop. I thought about calling him on it, but I folded.

Today's theme for Sac was forgiveness. A woman was speaking about some of her experiences and noted that she was frustrated while in the temple and she couldn't figure out why she and her husband were not chosen. She said the session was small and she had a distinct impression that they were going to he picked. When they were not, she was upset. Later,she realized she hadn't forgiven so and so from awhile back. The next time she went to the temple, she and her husband were picked.

We don't have a cuckoo for cocoa puffs emoticon (I think we need one and jeff Lebowski has recently shown a willingness to add to our growing lexicon) but if we were to have one, I'd insert it here and now.

Oh my goodness. Just one more piece of evidence pointing to the fact that I reside in the most boring ward in the world.

I normally don't see very much of it, either. But I thought this qualified.

This reminds me of elementary school when we were choosing up sides for softball. The two captains would be looking at the crowd of kids, all of them eagerly hoping to be picked, and crestfallen if they were passed over. I never thought of the witness couple that way. Until now. Sheesh.

We have only been the witness couple once. It was my wife's second time going through (the first time after she took out her own endowments, so the first time doing a proxy). It was kind of fun having a session having a completely clueless Eve.

I have always thought that the reason we are never picked is that we are usually rushing in to the session right before the doors close, but now I suppose it could be due to something that is not right in my wife's life.

I went to the temple once in 1996 on a date. We were asked to be the witness couple. If sin keeps you from being the witness couple, thoughts don't count.

Sister speaker:

Being a SAHM is Gods plan for every woman in the world. I am glad I headed the call.

Male speaker: (EQP...and I am in his Presidency)

The Priesthood is Gods gift to man. It is how he requires that we run his Church.

Motherhood is Gods gift to women.

Men can't be a mother. It is against Gods will. Same goes for women and the Priesthood.

Winner.

[Jeff Lebowski]

I learned that if we willfully sin, the atonement will not work for us and we can't be saved in the CK. I was left to ponder what it means to unwillfully sin? How can you sin against your will?

[All-American]

If you haven't been asked to be the witness couple at the temple, you need to ask yourself why and then change whatever isn't right.

I must be very righteous. I've been asked twice, and I'm still single.

Willful in a legal setting usually means an act that is done with bad intentions or an evil motive as opposed to something that was merely volitional.

Still curious why the atonement wouldn't work there.
