You may know that I was set apart as a member of my stake high council this morning, something I did not expect at all and certainly not now, thinking Willyne and I had just agreed to continue on for another year or more as church service missionaries working in the 12 step addiction recovery program.
Of course, I was put right to work, and just a few hours after being set apart, I spoke in La Verkin 3rd Ward on the topic of comparing our 2013 stake theme to the Beatitudes. I had enough material for twenty minutes or so ... as it turns out I had about eight minutes. If you are interested, click on the link and you can read the notes I prepared for the talk. The actual talk was the portions of this I was inspired to give, skipping the rest to fit the time available. As always, I believe the speaker got more out of this than anyone else :-)
