When I was growing up we had a weekly tradition that we called "Closure". It would take place on sunday and sort of finish off the week. What is closure? well, all 11 of us (a blended family) would gather in the living room after dinner on sunday. One by one each person was encuraged to share something they learned either that day in church, sometime over the last week, or even just their lifetime. Only if you wanted to. Once you were done, sharing would be passed to the next person. This was not a time to correct, debate, or lecture. It was simply a time to share what you had learned. Some times they were very brief, even one word. Partly because with that many teenagers you should know at least a few want to hurry up and get on with it, and also because thats just how some did it. Others would share longer thoughts.




I would like this to be a place where Closure can take place. Please share Something you have learned. If you are not an auther on the blog, but wish to share, just post what you have learned as a comment on my last post.

The Lord's University

In a talk presented by our Stake President, he spoke of the Lord's University. It being the temple. That church and scriptures, seminary, etc are kind of like elementary, middle, and high school. They are very helpful and send you in the right direction, but if you really want to know what to do, how to do it, and everything else you have to go to the University. It will really give you direction in your life.

When we first received our call for our temple mission in Santo Domingo, I confess I was a little disappointed. You know, doing the same thing over and over for a year and a half... Well, as you also know, that's not the way it turned out. I led or observed over 400 Endowment sessions, and learned something from every one of them! And I am still learning...
