Jesus didn't go whoring.

But Hal, Jesus didn't go whoring!
Those words did actually come out of my mouth in HPG today.
My feelings are way too fluid, mercurial, up and down, volatile this month. He/Hal is planning on watching the super bowl with his kids and friends today. I teased him to start with and said he would need to start and end with prayer. He mentioned Kate Upton may be in a commercial. CharlieM asked who's playing and who is that?
At first I was embarrassed about what I had said. ReedP was good about trying to refocus us to help out JimC who was substituting today. JimC was terrible. I don't know how he ever made a living as a HS teacher and I can see why he went to the testing center eventually.
We are all just trying and doing our best. I did stay quiet through SS. TamiS noticed and encouraged me for future classes. I declared I would be there if ever needed. But the nice round half circle arrangement made it much more social and there were plenty of answers.
So would Jesus watch the super bowl with his kids?
Would Abraham sacrifice Isaac?
Would Joseph Smith practice polygamy?
Answer: If required.
How many of the 10 commandments, the simple law, do we break? How many of the higher law commandments do we break? Shouldn't we do our best to obey? Should we make excuses and say we will be associating with family?
DougL had his gay daughter ask him to give her away at her wedding. He is going to do it.  Should he?  He said this is his last week so he could say what ever he wanted.
What a mixture of old inflexible and still flexible people we have in that group. I could make a list with two columns.

A Day

Sunday, 1/28/18 Hey Nate, here comes my first letter of the year. This is scary. I so want to get along with you and not offend. Can we make a deal right up front? When we are offended we will make note, and then when we feel safe we will share. That is my proposal. There are all degrees of being put off, feeling put down, feeling misunderstood, feeling ignored, feeling hurt and offended. Since I am an old science teacher I like to measure everything. I love to measure! 2 nd part of the proposal would be to rate the offense on a scale of 1-10. Little offenses would be a 1 and devastating offenses would be a 10! Gayelinn leaves me a voicemail or two each month. She left me 19 minutes the day after Mistelle's bday. She was worried she was going to die so she wrote her will. I haven't written a will yet, have you? I just listened to her vmail today. I usually leave her 10, 20 or 30 minutes a day. She says she loves them. So we have become quite close. She has such a plea...

Hey Vern, I didn't watch the Superbowl and If you look on my fb timeline you will see why. It is rigged. A way to keep the masses complacent and in the dark while evil continues to rule the world. The Simpsons are "illuminati" or ran by the organized elite of the upper echelons of Satan's servants. The score was predicted exactly years ago along with 9/11, Trump and his assassination. He is the fall guy for the new world order. The excuse for why America should be dissolved and accept the prophesied one world government. It will happen soon. Yesterday was fast and testimony meeting but it was the first time I could worthily take the Sacrament . Next week I can prepare it! I was the first one up there. But I fast every Sunday. I figure if I can get more blessings why not? It is hard tho and won't put on weight as quickly as I would like but I get blessed. Last week I fasted for a friend to get back in the church. Two days later i texted her and she went! Amazing....

that thy performance may be for the welfare of thy soul

Hey Nate, Today was the day! How did it go? Someone read the blessing on the bread so calmly and understandably today that I felt blessed just hearing it. I purposefully did not look up to see who did such a great job. But I felt closer to God because of that blessing offered in my behalf. It is hard to stay worthy of blessing the sacrament. The good news: just repent first! I always prided myself on being a know-it-all in the church. It is easy to know more than everyone else when your family teaches the gospel. They did! Too bad my parents didn't live it. That messed all of us up. At BYU after my mission i got to be roomies with my best friend, next door neighbor, David Jentzsch. He taught me something his father taught him that surprised me. I guess I didn't know everything after all. 9  But behold, I say unto you that ye must  pray  always, and not faint; that ye must not perform any thing unto the Lord save in the first place ye shall  pray  unt...
