Benefits of going to church (Mormon)

[_Runtu]

I think I'd rather be in church than home with a cold/sinus infection. No fun.

[_just me]

ya! Did you go today?

For SM. I wore new clothes...dressed fancy. I looked hawt. It was great.

Oh! The best part was when one of my kids sounded out "hymns" and came up with hymen.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Laughed my ass off right there.

Ceeboo,

I have a minute to explain further. Adam-God explains the difficult problem of evil. Why did Mother Teresa say, "each one of them is Jesus in disguise." ?

I tend to think she suspected that "God" was found among all of us rather than in the sky. God tried to make things perfect but couldn't so here we are, to fix the world's problems together.

Oh, what the hell....

1. I've learned to suppress my gag reflex as the 3 day old sacrament bread lodges itself somewhere behind my epiglottis
2. I get to experiment with taking the sacrament using my right hand AND my left hand
3. During annual Primary Presentation, I can make faces at the little kids and get them to screw up their lines
4. Sacrament talks remind of long-buried doctrines, such as Cain is Bigfoot, Adam-God, Priesthood ban, and "don't drink Coke"
5. Playing "Who really believes this crap?"-BINGO is fun.

I dunno, Runtu. Some weeks the sinus infection would be the better option.

Hey quark,

Ceeboo,

The Mother Teresa quote you offer was speaking about the poorest/most challenged in Calcutta.
Her reference was to illustrate that her treatment of them (help/love/compaassion) was that she treated those human beings the same as she would have treated Jesus.

(I am lost as to why you quote her in regards to Adam-God and/or explaining difficult problems with evil?)

I tend to think she suspected that "God" was found among all of us rather than in the sky.

Understood.

for what it's worth, I tend to think she was walking the Christian walk and talking the Christian talk concerning the Biblical teachings of Love. "The things you do for the least of those, you do for Me (Jesus)"

God tried to make things perfect but couldn't so here we are, to fix the world's problems together.

Well, if you are right (I do not share your view, for what it's worth), might I suggest that we humans are doing a pethetic job.

Peace,
Ceeboo

We sang hymn 185 before the sacrament. That song belongs in a funeral service. Then we sang 284 if you Could hie to Kolob. Love that song.

My kids were dressed in school clothes and I had a shirt with stripes and no tie. I looked around and was sort of surprised at all the suits. I think suits outnumbered the suitless. The reason my kids were in school clothes was because it was enough of a challenge to get them in the building. Baby steps, I suppose. I considered the possibility of becoming the token ragimuffin family, but the kids might feel weird being the only ones.

The talks were fairly monotonous so I drew underground compounds with my son.

Well, we sang Christmas songs. Be jealous!!!

Aaaargh! Ok, that is, truly, the *one* thing I will miss this year. Getting my "Hark" on.
