I had lots of ideas about how to start and what to write about.  But I found a comment from Shelli about last night's entry that I ought to address first.  I said that my comments were NOT apostate.  I merely questioned this new church 'rescue' program.  Well, not questioned.  I just had some questions about it.  One was about the role of a ward clerk and I wondered if they are doing right by being in the clerk's office during the block.  I did have a suggestion about doing home teaching more like visiting teaching where you can count a visit more liberally then a home teaching visit.  Anyway.  We talked a lot about that yesterday, Sheila and I, and we feel okay about what went down.  I was amazed at how much I have seen go on in the church in my 65 and 1/2 years of observation.

I turned the Jazz game on with 1:29 in the 4th.  A long time later the won after 3 overtimes.  And I know where Pres. Uchtdorf was during all that time.  Even with an extra day I am relieved to have our taxes enveloped up and ready to be mailed tomorrow.  That is always a surreal experience for me.  I'm sitting here sort of dressed up because I was called to help with a blessing.  I had to get out of my sweats and that is always a surreal experience for me too.  So here I am in this other world, but ready to come back in time to try and sleep through the night.  My #1 chore for tomorrow is done, but I do have much more that will demand my attention.  But that is a good thing.  I'm still working on verses 2 3 & 4 but verse 1 of 'my' song fills me with lessons to learn and truths to grasp.  Have you looked up that song to see what I am talking about?
