You have my most sincere and deepest sympathy.

So you can imagine my surprise when I flipped through several editions of the New Stake Presidents announcements and saw that our very own Everybody Wang Chung has been holding out on us. It seems our apologist friends are correct that he isn't a bishop---or, not an actively serving one at least. Our dear Everybody Wang Chung has been called as a Stake President!

Not only will he be a great stake president, but he will be able to directly have influence on the next ten years of bishops in his stake. They’ll have some of the most loving and unorthodox bishops. The youth in particular will really benefit from what will surely be a great few years of awesome leadership. Good luck Everybody Wang Chung.

It felt like I tried to make it work for years only to feel defeated over and over again. And, with that, there was no way they'd ever consider me for some high level on the local side position. But considering some of the SPs I've had over the years, you'd certainly be welcome and refreshing change.

Like, you know this real estate conglomerate disguised as a church is pimping you out so you can ensure your capos Bishops are collecting that shakedown money conducting the Lord's work, and you have meeting after meeting to discuss their business dealings tending to the flock, get to travel around to the various franchises Wards to make sure the store management leadership is staying on message preaching the gospel, and you do this dirty work uplifting mission, sacrificing time away from your family and personal interests for free!
SOUNDS AMAZING. SIGN ME THE ____ UP.
