I was going to post about topics discussed while at church last week but I forgot. Today when another list worthy topic was brought up I was reminded. So here goes.
Who doesn't love a good ol' fashioned Fast and Testimony sacrament meeting? Two interesting items of business were brought up that caught my attention. First- Remembering Jet Travolta. It really is heart breaking to me that he passed away (not poking fun at all) and the Travolta family should know that the 3rd Ward is concerned and bears testimony of the concern. Second- all middle aged men should have their prostate examined regularly. Because who can do that too often? I should have got up next to mention regular breast examinations- probably my only chance and I missed it!
Then today reference was made to Dumbledore's remarks regarding leadership in The Dealthly Hallows. Because a good leader does not go searching to be a leader as did Dumbledore, but the duty of leadership falls on him as it did Harry Potter. I get the message but wonder if other comparisons would work a little better? Not everyone has read the books afterall.
I am going to keep listening very carefully so hopefully in the near future I can report (if we're lucky) Twilight gospel wisdom and maybe some gospel/food comparisons. I think those would be good.
5 woot-woots!:
I actually gave a lesson on the gospel being a sandwich a few years back. I had it drawn out and all the sandwich pieces were corresponding to a principle. It turned out well. Also, I think there is some Bible scripture near the back about vampires. Maybe that can be worked into the Twilight example.
I would have paid you $100 to bear testimony of boob exams.
What kind of sandwich exactly? Because if it was a tuna salad or say summer sausage that just would not cut it. I hope it was a BLT. That just sounds like the gospel to me. I'll study up on vampire references tonight, still need to get that scripture study in.
And Bex, when cash starts to get tighter and if my retirement savings plunge even more than they have I am taking you up on that.
hahahahaha. You are a hoot!
Once we had a RS lesson about how we should not brag too much about our husbands for fear that other sisters will try to steal them from us.
Consider yourself warned.
Shush, HP is *always* a valid example. In any situation. I can always make reference to Twilight as well, but HP is much more... appropriate?
And I'm so glad someone else noticed the Jett reference. I was dying on the inside.
