Odd that you can't watch/listen live anywhere but at church, but it's available very quickly now for those who can't/don't. I suppose gathering the men together is good if for nothing else but the ice cream (you DID have ice cream didn't you... seems like everywhere we've lived they've had ice cream after the Priesthood session.)<br /><br />If it's to call attention to yourself, and I'd include those who "dress to impress" (you know, the ones we used to call posers), I'd say yes, that includes people who look like they just stepped out of a Brooks Brothers catalog.<br /><br />You stand to sing so as to awaken the sleeping High Priests, of course!<br /><br />When we were in Crystal City Ward there was a man who moved in from Salt Lake. His job there had been working - as in paid position - for the quorum of the twelve. I can't remember what exactly he did, but he gave a talk one Sunday shortly after he moved in and he described the assigning of missions. It was fascinating. He had a long story about one particular mis-assigned missionary and how the Quorum member - can't remember how now - called him and got him out of bed at 3 am to return to the church office building to correct that mis-assignment. Apparently the Lord was not willing for the correction to be made later that day. It had to be fixed THEN. Very interesting story. I can tell you the long, full version sometime if you want me to.<br /><br />Still jealous that Elder Oaks only spoke at the Priesthood session. Daddy was particularly pleased that he referred to non-Mormon prayers and miraculous healing. There are some non-members that are seriously spiritual. And, I figure, if God only listened to Mormon prayers then BYU and the Eagles would win every game.Heather the Mama Dukhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03314177816405887405noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4230245579458786956.post-4337356256300709452010-04-04T02:11:03.184-08:002010-04-04T02:11:03.184-08:00You wrote:

Though I'm not sure, I think standing is like the 7th inning stretch in a baseball game.Dayle Turnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09409228377298646574noreply@blogger.com
