Sunday Log

Sometimes in church we keep a log to entertain ourselves. This is all true...I promise.

2:19 A foul odor is detected, Melly initially gets the blame, but upon inspection she is clean.

2:30 The teacher thinks he is a rapper. He raps crappy made up song about the gospel.

2:33 Melly continuously looks up Wendi's skirt.

2:38 Teacher brings up the stupid "sheep goat continuum". Of the five weeks in Alaska we've heard about this theory four times. And we had a sub one week.

2:40 Teacher passes out a multi-page handout detailing the "sheep goat continuum/juxtaposition". I'm beginning to wonder if Brother Manning and Brother Williams somehow had a child and shipped him to Alaska.

2:44 He is now talking about a technique called "tools combining". His example is listening to music while he prays. To increase spirituality. CRAZY!!!

2:50 Melly gives up on trying to play with mom and dad and moves on to the lady across the aisle. She appears to have made a friend.

2:51 I notices the Elder's Quorum President's tie, it has a picture of his baby on it. Wendi tries to make a secret note on her phone. I notice it's titled father's day gift for Peter.

3:00 Melly stuffs her new friends whole toy carrot into her mouth.

3:01 Log exceeds one page, the back of "sheep goat continuum" becomes log page 2.

3:02 I zone out wondering at what age we get to send Melly to nursery. Nine months sounds good to me.

3:04 The smell of the white board marker reaches the second row of chairs. The front row has become very passive.

3:10 Class change.

3:21 EQ Pres is trying to drum up interest in hiking local peaks. He's talking about starting small and working up to something really big. This is Alaska so I'm thinking that really big like camp one at Denali or something, but apparently something big is a 6000 foot peak. A 6000 foot peak in Utah is called west mountain.

3:26 EQ teacher is the same guy who taught Gospel Doctrine. He quotes Margaret Wheatley, "Information is nourishment". Where have I heard that before? Oh yeah, he quoted that two weeks ago when he taught EQ.

3:33 EQ teacher finishes up. It appears he has been asked to only teach Joseph Smith for 5 to 10 mintues and the rest of the time we're going to talk about food storage. I would much rather spend 0 to 1 minutes on food storage and spend the rest of the time on Joseph Smith like we're supposed to. This is three weeks now talking about food storage. I think the rice shortage is affecting people's judgment.

3:56 Insurance is negatively compared to gambling, I'm starting to like this...
