You left out Sunday School and ward activities.

I didn't want to sound like a total heathen but you are correct.

I went to a funeral earlier this week for the parent of one of our long time employees. There was an old guy who sang a song called "Some Call it Heaven but I Call it Home" or something like that (non-lds obviously). It was pretty good except that the folks from the funeral home in the AV booth never quite had the soundtrack loud enough for him so he kept pointing toward the sky to get them to turn it up, pretty much the whole song. It was very difficult to suppress the inappropriate laughter. The preacher who spoke was nice enough.

I'll take the heat for being a heathen. I am an ALUF - I'm used to it.

I can see the reason for the cookbook handbook, so long as people remember it's a general guidebook, not the precise how to book.

What has seemed to make a difference in my ward was when they started to emphasize sending the Aaronic priesthood out to collect fast offerings. That has clearly increased what my ward has collected this year. |

how would you like to be a bishop and know you have to report for every member of the ward? Wouldn't you rather talk to as many as possible so you can have the member report for themselves instead of doing it for them? He has to send the report on you whether you talk to him or not. The other purpose of it is to give the bishop an opportunity to meet with the members and get to know them.

Yikes, I'm ok with Aaronic Priesthood collecting fast offerings, as long as I am not the one who has to drive them around every time we do it!
