Among major conferences, the Pac-10 is the best academically, largely because of Stanford, Cal and UCLA. “Colorado is on a par with Oregon,” he said. “Utah isn’t even in the picture.” -
Nah. Their eyes are open to what the church can do with double the missionary force. They won't try to hold it back.Originally posted by Eddie View PostComment

http://fox13now.com/2013/05/21/viral...issionary-age/Kyle Naylor and Eric Williams are members of Alone N’ Single, and they say the song was inspired by true events.
“We all kind of went through the same thing. One night, it was actually Eric who walked in and he was a little frustrated, because lots of girls have been leaving on missions, which is great, we support that and that’s awesome, but was a little frustrated cause she’s leaving on a mission,” Naylor said.
The band members know first-hand what it’s like to go on a mission and leave a girl behind, but now the tables have turned.
“We wrote each other for a year, and then after that I just kinda never heard from her,” Williams said. ”Girls hey the tables have turned. Now they can expect the same thing. Instead of Dear Johns, we’re going to start Dear Janing them.”"If there is one thing I am, it's always right." -Ted Nugent.

For all this His anger is not turned away, but His hand is stretched out still.
Not long ago an obituary appeared in the Salt Lake Tribune that said the recently departed had "died doing what he enjoyed most—watching BYU lose."

They didn't read it in our ward either nor have they read the BSA related letter. Maybe we are a forgotten ward?Originally posted by myboynoah View Post"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. UchtdorfComment

It takes a month or more for letters to get here, so I don't foresee it being read anytime soon.Originally posted by myboynoah View Post
Also I don't know why it takes letters from church hq so long to get somewhere that is only 9 hours away, but it does. I think they send it pony express.Comment

If MJ hears that letter shell want to donate. I'll have to remind her we have 5 potential missionaries and need to save for them first, then we can donate."Discipleship is not a spectator sport.

Hmm... One has to wonder about the church's financials given the announcements in recent years:Originally posted by myboynoah View Post
- Church owned Beneficial Life that has been around over 100 years announces it will shutdown.
- Church owned DesNews reduces it staff by 43%.
- The church office, which never lays off, announces a lay-off earlier this year.
- Members of the church are "leaving in droves" and assuming as well as their tithing donations.
and now this.
The good news is it seems that new mall is doing great. At least according to its general manager."If there is one thing I am, it's always right." -Ted Nugent.

A new Utah graduation tradition?
Nope...Hundreds of Bountiful High graduates lined up to receive their diplomas at the Regional Center in Woods Cross on Friday, many of whom have already received their LDS mission assignments since the minimum age went from 19 to 18 for young men.
As is the custom, graduating seniors wrote their names on a card to be read aloud as they crossed the stage. Apparently, dozens of young men added what appeared to be the place of their Mormon mission as a "middle name" – as in John "Russia" Doe and James "New York" Smith.
http://www.sltrib.com/sltrib/blogsfa...ssion.html.cspBy the end, perhaps 50 or more had done this, according to one parent in attendance.
Was this appropriate at a public high school, where many of the grads are not Mormon, or did it cross church-state lines?
Bountiful High’s vice principal, Alan Smith, said administrators knew nothing about the mission-as-middle-name tactic in advance and would not have approved it.
"It won’t be something we will do again," Smith said.
Chris Williams, a Davis School District spokesman, said the fake names were "inappropriate."
Maybe Utah grads should do what they do in Texas.... Tell the everyone where you are going with your cap:
