  1. Ummm... Thanks for making my point..I guess, who knows what you meant, but I do agree with your post to a certain point. I have seen scouting work in branches/small wards, it really comes down to the "want to" factor..

    Oh well....life goes on lol. Atleast the Braves are doing well.
  3. I have always loved what the BSA was "traditionally" about, unfortunately I saw way to often that scouting programs were not being properly utilized in our units. Like others have stated, I saw this coming from a mile away and fully support it. A gospel centered/focused program could be utilized a lot more affectively for today’s youth.

    @Godless well well...the Caps advance. Congrats
  6. I have always looked at happiness as something happening right now, while viewing joy as something eternal. Peace/comfort will lead you to having that "JOY", nobody is perfect and we have to strive to keep that joy in our lives. Easy things to find peace/comfort/joy in as it pertains to the gospel: it has been restored, the atonement of Christ, eternal families.

    It would be a heck of a story for sure.

    I am a little biased, but I'd say cheer for the Gold & Blue. I think we play an exciting brand of hockey.
  9. "He That Shall Endure unto the End, the Same Shall Be Saved" https://www.lds.org/general-conference/2018/04/he-that-shall-endure-unto-the-end-the-same-shall-be-saved?lang=eng I agree with @Lost Boy, find time to listen to the entire conference....over and over again.
  10. "The Greatest Showman" Watched it with my wife, it was actually pretty good.
  11. Nothing beats a good laptop and HDMI cable. Often people show up unprepared to teach, it can really detract from the spirit. We as leaders/teachers need to remember to teach to the audio, visual, and kinesthetic learner...not every one in the EQ or class is the same. Here are some ideas I have had or used: - Print off pictures and let the group talk about how it makes them feel - Use short video clips (nothing longer than a couple of mins) - Activities they/some can do that relate to the topic being taught Oddly enough all of this can be accomplished with their smart phones, TV, or perhaps something you bring from home.

    That is awesome! I remember 1998 very well, before the Preds got to Nashville I followed the Huntsville Channel Cats (Huntsville Havoc now). I liked the Leafs...I remember liking them when I was much much younger, and utterly despising the Red Wings haha. It was a great time for my sports fandom 20 years ago, hopefully all their hard work pays off this year.

    @MormonGator, thanks for P.K. lol. Playoff hockey is very exciting, this year has not disappointed yet.
  14. I absolutely agree. The Lord has been preparing us for the current day/model of Ministering we are getting into. When I was a YM President/Scout Master (small ward), I had to adapt to the way the YM communicated and learned. It really opened my eyes, it helped me become more open minded to breaking outside our normal "church norms" and getting the youths minds in the affective domain.
  15. I'd like to get us back on topic. We have strayed off in many directions chasing squirrels haha. Hello all, I hope to be more active on the forum. This being said, I can come off as aggressive and very blunt...I do not mean any harm by this, I love y'all very much and strive to be more like the Savior each and every day. In fact I am just trying to engage in further conversation, making sure my perspective is clearly stated, and I understand where you are coming from. How can technology around us help us magnify our Priesthood and callings?
  16. Unfortunately my last pen broke recently, luckily it did not leak all over me haha. Pictures of new weapon of choice to come soon....
  17. Like I have said...sometimes things get lost in translation in "text". Just because I communicate and interpret things differently then you or others, doesn't necessarily make me wrong or right for that matter. My point was to clarify and to ask for substance in his post. I clarified the aspect where he thought I was using something in an official capacity. He then added his take on Handbook guidance. Lastly, he made a comment that he does use tech, however claimed it would not benefit my calling or my question. Why even post then? WHY? Seems negative to me, if he had something to share, lets put it out there so maybe it can be benefit to the community.
  18. I would love your input on tech that you use/have used in your callings and as a Priesthood holder. This was the entire point of my post, however if you had nothing to contribute other than a terminology correction, an assumption of my example with guidance out of the handbook, and a comment about how you use something, but some how did not find it relevant to add substance...hence our situation here. I don't know you personally, but I do love you as a brother...by all means add to the conversation to help others, myself, heck maybe even yourself.
  19. A good one...yes. I thought it was crazy too, however after using a $65 dollar pen...I get the hype!
  20. Not that much. I am rough on pens haha. I am in the $100 range, something I can use in my studies and note taking in meetings.
  21. I have also been a member since 2008, just because I do not post that much does not mean I don't participate in this forum. Like I said, I respect his and others opinion on the matter...I just thought it was an empty post and I shared my feelings on the matter. I am a very blunt person, I have been wrong before and will be again. I just didn't see the value in it is all, I wanted him to share his experiences with technology.
  22. I am actually in the market for a new pen, I broke a really nice Cross not that long ago. Currently open for other suggestions.
  23. While I respect yours and anyone’s opinion...I don't view my post as negative. In fact, I was clarifying the post to the person who apparently was confused about the question I was asking. I was not asking advice about my calling or how to use technology, I was simply opening a dialog about different things we use, thoughts, experiences with technology in callings and Priesthood. His post had nothing of substance to the topic, except maybe him putting in a "matter of fact" jab. Go back and read it. While I am sure in the IT world people communicate differently than others, let me help clarify the type of person I am and how I communicate. I am a career Airman in the USAF, I am currently in year two of my tour as a Military Training Instructor (Drill Instructor). I don't have time for nonsense and I do not communicate in it...so his post in my opinion was negative, pointless, and a waste of time.
