Things that should be heard more often at Church

...I saw 3 - either texting or checking email...

Or looking up a scripture that was being referenced in the talk.

If you came to my ward and saw me during the passing of the sacrament, you'd think I was sleeping. However, I am not. I like to close my eyes and bow my head. I feel more reverent and do not feel distracted by other things such as people texting or the little kids in the row in front of me crawling under the pew to find his or her missing crayons. I try to worry more about how I am acting rather than how other people are acting during sacrament, it makes me less agitated.

Thank you. My husband has his scriptures on his PDA, so he may look like he's checking his e-mail, but he's actually following along with the lesson.

The young so and so kids didnt lap hop today. I wonder if they are ill!?!

This actually happened in my old ward. As I would sit in the back due to health reasons one little girl would look at me and smile and just get up and sit in my lap. And I wasnt alone. Apperently she had her Fave Sisters and Brothers that she liked to visit. She would come up and crawl into your lap and give you a big hug and a smile. then move to the next inbetween talks or hymns. when she didnt do this we would ask her mom if she was feeling alright. She was a great little girl....untill...fast and testamony meeting...lol

Me too! I close my eyes, but it's because I worked the night before. I find that I have only enough energy to keep my eyes open or enough energy to pay attention with eyes closed. But I really do know what's going on, I promise!
