Just sitting here with my new tiny laptop watching American Idol with my boys. Hilarious! Some really stand out and a few crazies. I am always amazed that these people are not put off by the previous seasons and those they make fun of on national television. I know this is why I would never try out - well except for the whole have to be able to sing and all - I see that 9000 people showed up and the one guy is mad he had to wait so long for his audition. WHAT?!! Of course you have to wait.
On another front, I got to teach Seminary today. Only one hour. Not Logan's class either but I sure enjoyed it. We got to watch a DVD segment, somewhat better than Tom Trails filmstrips, but really, still a little cheesy. I loved the message. Alma 5, asking the hard questions. Are we ready to stand before the bar of Judgement and face God? Have you had a mighty change of heart? Is this leading your life? There is so much to learn in the scriptures just waiting for us to delve in and keep that change of heart going.
I also went and interviewed with a member of the Stake Presidency today. I sure love that man. He was truly inspired to take our young men on a stake encampment last summer devoted to getting them excited and committed to going on a mission. My boys came home with such a great Spirit and sure in their purpose. I love it. He told me several inspirations he received and things that happened last minute that really turned out for the best. His original inspiration came at girls camp. He really felt that the boys needed a girls camp type of Spiritual activity. In nature, surrounded by the good word and with lots of boy activities (guns and bows/arrows.) I am grateful for these men who donate their time and talents to keep our church running. At church last Sunday Dallin interviewed with the Bishop for his birthday. He and the Bishop decided that in 9 months Dallin will start filling out his mission papers. WOW!
Well I am now rambling and I love watching TV with my boys.
PS: If any of this Church stuff is confusing go here.

Why were you talking with the stake presidency, hm?
Just asking!
And that RM from Utah . . . Hello!
I had to wonder what the interview with the stake presidency was all about, too!
The YM "encampment" thing sounds great. I know Girls Camp is very powerful in our stake, and I like the idea of the guys having a similar experience.
=)
PS. I also watched Idol last night. It was fun, but strange without Paula and her sometimes bizarre antics. I also think she kept the judges a little "nicer," relatively speaking. It was still fun to see it again, though.
No mystery - Temple recommend interview.
