Default Have you ever pulled off the Triple Crown of Prayer?

I also refer to it as praying for the cycle. One fine Sunday I was asked to pray in Sacrament meeting, Sunday School and in Priesthood meeting. It's only happened to me once in all my years but I'm willing to bet there are a few others of you who have accomplished this incredible feat.

An even more impressive feat is being asked to both open and close the same meeting. I accomplished this in one of my first PEC meetings many years back. It was a nice reminder that my opening prayer was less than memorable.

I once fell asleep in PEC, Bishopric, sacrament, Gospel Doctrine and Priesthood. I dare anybody to beat that record.

There was, but in my sleep I failed to take note of the agenda for the day.

The perhaps most appropriate words, "close your eyes as if you were asleep ...."

I've never done it.

But then, I know how to say no.

But you don't fall asleep as well as I do. One need not say yes or no to make that cycle.
