Re: Gaaah! I hate home teaching!
I did "return the keys" to my bishop and indicate I was finished with HT. I had been in the saddle for half a century, and that may have helped in his acceptance of my notification. He even thanked me for my extended service. Also a factor, is that I am known as an "alternate" Mo...

Re: Just for the shirt of it
If on any given Sunday, I, in a T-shirt and shorts, helped to bring clean water to an African village, or saved ten children by feeding them their first meal in a three days, then I would be participating in the sacred path my Savior calls me to. White shirt? It is nice, but oh, there is so much mor...

Re: My pilgrimage to Mecca
I have a Book of Mormon and a Second Grade Reader in Deseret script, circa 1860. I bought them at Deseret Books while at a general conference around 1959. They were being sold as keepsakes for 50 cents each. I think you were limited as to how many you could buy. Of course I was a poor college kid an...

Re: My pilgrimage to Mecca
I did the Mecca pilgrimage at least twice a year for twenty-five years. Many Californians can relate. I knew every twist of the highway, every tiny Utah village (often with strange names). I always felt the spirit (be it tourist related). I have avoided SLC for the last decade. All my immediate post...

Re: My Son Will Be Released from His Mission Next Monday
Seattle can be addictive. I lost one blood brother to the place and finally had to go kidnap him and bring him back to sunny California a decade later. He had health issues and the dribbling rain/gray fog was causing severe depression. He loves Long Beach now (our childhood home), and a VA hospital ...

Re: Stopping in to say hi.

Re: An interesting situation in Scotland
I am a volunteer docent at an Indian museum in a high-end school district near the Pacific ocean. I do storytelling for classes of students (mostly fourth grade) who come to visit the museum and be taught Native stories. I have noted in the four weeks of serving there, when the large classes (30-35 ...

Re: I don't know if I can Stay Away
This is embarrassing to share (thus I will do it naturally). As I walked by the ward library a few weeks prior to the vote on 8, I saw a huge stack of YES signs on the library counter. Of course it completely violates church policy. I spoke to the librarian and when she continued using the copying m...
