Scovy, the pressure is on here, too. As mentioned in one of my earlier posts, our Stake Presidency sent out an email to everyone with a schedule of what days and times each organization should go.

Wow, this is awesome!

LOL that's great!

The Osmond family, of course.

LOL "I wonder" if I'll think it looks fun when I'm in the middle of it! I have gone rappelling and it was a major blast!

Someone dropped a Sacrament tray. My cookie.

Indeed we are.

I wonder if I'll ever go on a zip line before I die. That's something I'd really like to do. Now, where was that "bucket list" thread...,

Me too. I'd be of one that's all about nature and the spirits in plants and animals and dancing around in the moonlight.

Well said.

I saw Meet the Mormons tonight. I thought it was wonderful. I laughed a lot, smiled frequently, and sniffled a time or two. I just might go see it again.

The way it was taught to me is that we don't talk about Her much because Her name is extremely sacred, and Heavenly Father does not want Her name dragged through the mud and abused like His is. Therefore it is out of great respect and reverence that we spare Her name. She understands this, so She is not hurt because we don't use Her name much. Beyond this, I would venture to say that She is well-pleased that we respect Her so very much. What I do is reverently ask Heavenly Father during private prayer that He would make known to Her my great love for her. Some would say that's corny, but it comforts me. I see no reason to be sorrowful about the Church not mentioning Her much. She feels our devoted love, just like Heavenly Father does.

It's nice that it's opening early. I'm in California too, but it won't open in my area until Friday. You should report back if you go so we'll know kind of what to expect

We don't own any guns at my house.

I guess I'm going whether I really want to or not. My VT just called, and asked if I would go on Friday with her and two other ladies from Church. She has everything all planned out and was very excited, so I hated to be a downer. I'll have to work on my attitude about it the next couple of days, and get into the mindset that I'm going to enjoy it.

LOL another ward that meets in our building is the Hidden Lake ward. Beautiful names...

Someone mentioned writing a book. I would love to do that, too.

LOL

I just always pictured it that my husband would stand at the foot of my grave and say, "So and So, come forth," and then the grave would burst open and I would just step out. Someone I believe mentioned that our spirit would not rejoin with our body while our body was in the grave, but I have always pictured it that way when the time has come for us to come out. Where I got that idea from I don't know...it just made sense to me that it would happen that way.

I didn't realize.... Gosh how embarrassing!

Wow, that sounds marvelous! Wish we had something like that here. We have a Massage Envy here, which is a national chain, but it's pretty expensive.

Oh. I thought that just giving the name but not the city would be ok. I assumed (perhaps wrongly) that the same name could be used multiple times throughout the Church, but it would be the city that would distinguish it from other wards with the same name. That's why I said, "No city, of course," Sorry if I have made anyone uncomfortable. I'm in Sycamore ward, but I guess I thought there could be a hundred other wards by the same name.

That's very pretty. I didn't realize that numbers were still used in some areas. Wonder if this topic is going to backfire on me lol
