Huge Blow Up in Quorum Meeting

[Bo Diddley]

This is my favorite abbreviation. I always read it wrong at first and it is funny to me.

Same!

[BigPiney]

Ha, yes. I hadn't given a talk in 3 years so I was due. Just bad timing. But now I get a few weeks off as I don't teach GD again until June 15 and choir won't start again until about that time.

You would think they would give you a break after all your work a couple weeks ago.

I'm glad it could amuse others as much as it has me. I actually spoke in sacrament meeting yesterday on the topic of worship. I almost put in a brief section on sabbath day observance just so I could tell that story. However it would not be as funny if I said "profanity" instead of "F-word" and I worried some would be uncomfortable with me saying "F-word" from the pulpit so I just left it all out.

By the way, I shared this story with my wife and we both thought it was hilarious. So we have starting using the phrase "The F-word is on the house." We chuckle every time.

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."

Solid joke.

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:



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.

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

But will there be doughnuts there?

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.

Primrose path.

I wish I was in your quorum.
