Huge Blow Up in Quorum Meeting

[PaloAltoCougar]

PAC would be a great addition to any EQ.

I am beloved, but only because I bring fresh donuts to the discussions I lead.

[Jeff Lebowski]

This shouldn't cause a blow-up, but I'm leading tomorrow's quorum discussion of Sister Browning's very good October '24 Conference talk, "Seeking Answers to Spiritual Questions." I intend to bring in the Uchtddorf quote she cites, “asking questions isn’t a sign of weakness” but rather “it’s a precursor of growth." This may be where, as often happens, my presentation shifts from pure doctrine to the philosophies of men, mingled with scripture. I may use, yet again, the great quote from Conclave:

I loved that quote in conclave.

I loved that quote in conclave.

It stood out as a great truth.

Hmm, how fresh? Like, purchased Sunday morning fresh?

When the ox is in the mire. I's important to mingle, however briefly, with the heathens. Helping the struggling shop owner. Even the bishop is thankful for my sacrifice (or at least doesn't ask). I've got several other rationales.

I stopped and got a fresh donut and diet coke on my way into work this morning. Glad I did, because I was told to produce a urine sample, and I was a little dehydrated from chasing my grandkids around the park last night.

A few years back when I was more prone to guilt, I had a confusing combination of guilt/justification when I was in a convenience store getting a little pick-me-up before Ward Council and I ran into our former stake president with a box of donuts.

You can rationalize your way into hell. Just sayin'...

Several years ago, after all but my youngest brother had moved out of the house, someone spray painted the F word in large letters on the side of my parents' house that was very visible to two streets (they are a corner lot). This was done on Saturday night and was discovered very early Sunday morning. My parents are quite devout in many things including sabbath day observance. But that did not prevent them from going out early Sunday morning and painting over the tag with leftover white paint they had from the last time they had painted their house. Since that day whenever my family jokes about doing something on Sunday we shouldn't, instead of saying "the Ox is in the mire" we say "The F-word in on the house."

Primrose path.

I wish I was in your quorum.

And that may lead to what is perhaps my favorite religion joke of all time (h/t Emo Philips):



Worst case, a much-deserved release.

This is awesome, thanks.
