"Discipleship is not a spectator sport. 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

I like to think one of the signs of the second coming were the Olypmics coming to Salt Lake City. I regret not volunteering back then, I was too worried about school and didn't know that there were going to give us a week off. Wish they had told us that earlier!

Thanks. I like this one, especially since it happened in the context of the bribery scandal.
I've also always liked the argument that the the city lights=stars falling from the heavens. I paid a lot of attention to that sort of thing when I was a kid.
This sort of topic is absolutely golden. The Church needs to keep the unusual stuff in the lessons. Instead, the Church has been making things increasingly bland.

My AP US/European history and government teacher in high school used to love talking about Jesus descending from heaven into the middle of the stadium during opening ceremonies. That always made me chuckle.
