Church laughs

I leave home for a week and now I have so much to share with everyone. I will split it up and maybe not even do it all today.

As long as I have been going to church, not much new and exciting happens there. OK, maybe not much new and exciting ever happens in church but I got a kick out of this. It certainly is no where near as funny as something my friend Amy shared but we won't go into that right now.

So we were in SS class and a returned missionary was sharing the church's involvement in Oklahoma a few years ago following a horrible tornado. Of course the elders donned the famous t-shirts with lettering saying the were with the LDS church. After things were somewhat in order, the local officials released an article to the press. In it they expressed gratitude for all who helped and said that they specifically wanted to single out 2 organizations who were especially helpful. The 1st was the Mormons and the other was the Church of Jesus Christ of latter-day Saints. Yep. I got quite a good laugh out of that.

And the other was that a baby was to be blessed. The men started gathering in the front of the chapel. And then one of them says, "Oh, the baby." He goes back to his wife and gets the baby. I know I entertain easily but I got a laugh out of it. And then later he bore his testimony that he really does love his daughter.
