When Elder's Quorum text trees go wrong.

My EQ president sent out a text to a handful of us tonight regarding table and chair set up for tomorrow night's Christmas party. Things quickly took an unexpected turn. I think we were hoping that it would turn into the kid that accidentally got invited to Thanksgiving by grandma.

I always send out individual texts. Maybe I should rethink that.

This thread has taken a turn from the sublime to the mundane.

I am using LED to light the yard this Christmas. I don't have enough bulbs for the world.

Last night, my wife brought home one of those lights that project seasonal shapes on the side of your house. My goodness do those things suck. I had to climb up and disassemble the lights on each side of the garage just to avoid drowning out the dancing snowflakes. My neighbor has one of those laser things that puts green and red dots all over her house. Not as festive but much better coverage.

I helped red team a federal proposal yesterday. For free. I don't know if such an active of Christian service has ever been performed. By me at least.

If it helps, I always feel more obligation to show up, or at least respond, when it's an individual text. When I see that there's 27 other guys on the text, it's easier to convince myself that for or five of them are less busy than I am.

Those things are the height of laziness. Just spike it in the ground and wash your house in lights.

I am not a fan.

"Wash" being very generous.

In connection with the LTW program, our daughter was about to buy a year's free schooling for a female refugee through the International Rescue Committee and do so in the names of each of her two youngest kids' teachers. When her kids learned she was doing this, the eleven-year-old, who has been really into the LTW program, handed her $30 to help pay for it, thereby depleting all of his remaining spendable cash. Her 8-year-old gave her $20, noting that, "I'd just spend it on candy anyway." I told my daughter this made me really want to splurge on our Christmas gifts to them, but she rejected that idea, noting that they were really happy doing the things they've been doing and she wanted their only reward to be the good feelings that come from serving others and I shouldn't defile an otherwise selfless act with materialism. This is seriously cramping my style.

Seriously, some of the houses with those things look like they've contracted measles or chicken pox. Not good.

Don't feel bad. You are lighting your part of the world.

Love it, PAC. You have a great family.

An inspiration and good advice coming from your daughter. Your daughter in NYC still doing well?

Frustrated becasue my son and I have only managed to get up half of our christmas lights so far this year, my wife threatened me with one of those LED house-"wash" lights. If all lights arent up by COB Saturday, Monday will see my place bathed in those little dots. A pox on my house indeed.
