Do you really worry about consequences in the hereafter?

[TripletDaddy]

One of my childhood memories growing up in Sandy, Utah. My friends Bruce, Brent and I are weighing the moral consequences of stealing Christmas light bulbs on a house we're casing. Bruce and Brent are about six months older than I am. Bruce turns to me and says, "John, you should do it, you're not eight yet and we've been baptized."

One Sunday when I was in HS, I was over at my friends house. It was summer and we were hanging out in his room with another guy. They were both LDS. I was not baptized.

They said that they wanted to go get frozen yogurt, but since it was Sunday, they couldn't. So my one friend asks if I would be willing to buy the yogurt for them. I had no problem with that. They drove me over, I went inside and bought the yogurt while they waited in the car, and we all enjoyed a nice refreshing yogurt.

That's pretty funny. Did you take them?

No. I gave them a similar speech to that we have been treated with by creekster and Babs, above. I was a little philosopher, even before the age of accountability . But we missed out on the fun of throwing those little buggers down head first on the sidewalk and exploding them.

Now you all know why I, a career 26% shooter from behind the arc, was able to drain two three pointers in the last minute to defeat TO IV Ward in a Regional Basketball semi-final!

Others were NOT living right off the court and thus my MAGIC happened!

I'll bet your prom date was seriously hot!

LOL. These two guys were in the 4th ward! They actually lived about 8 houses away from Chief.

Who knew that Penguins Yogurt would be the undoing of a dynasty?

Why shouldn't this type of enginuity be rewarded in the hereafter. Probably it was good for the economy. Was this during a recession?

There is a real moral danger out there if we reward our LDS teen boys when they take the "you do the work/I'll just sit here and enjoy the benefits" approach....

Are we talking about a fro-yo here? Where did you go, Penguins? Did you really trade your eternal happiness for a mess of fro-yo?

[Tim]

Oops, I didn't see you'd mentioned Penguin's further down the thread... Really, though, I just wanted to say "fro-yo."

I grew up in Ridgecrest. I have fond memories of always wishing we could stop at Penguin's whenever we went to Costco in Victorville or Palmdale.

That is a walk down memory lane.

Get back to me if you want to talk about Music Plus, Naugles, Pup n Taco, Zodys, or Orbachs.

The only one of those that I remember is Naugles. How about The Wherehouse, though?

I absolutely disagree that most Mormons live with only the hereafter in mind. I think it's humanly impossible. Without immediate feedback, one's dedication to any sort of principle is shortlived at best, and likely halfhearted. The BOM is full of scriptures touting the temporal blessings of righteousness; in fact, I'd say it's one of its very unique features.
