The Bishop called last week. I didn't know it was actually the Bishop calling. The caller ID just said it was the church building. Mike told me I shouldn't have answered the phone. But I did. And now I get to give a talk tomorrow during sacramement meeting. Yipee! Good for me!
What got me was the topic...."Building a Christ-home." Me? Seriously?! I almost laughed at the bishop. Mike laughed when he I told him.
I could not even work on it today because my kids were threatening each other with death and hating each other until they die. Yeah. They picked the right house.
The bishop told me that he thought of me and this topic came to mind. Huh? Was it the glare I have on my face at the end of every sacrament meeting after dealing with 5 children? Was it during the meeting, while the sacrament is being passed and my 2 year-old is yelling "One more!" at the deacon as he is leaving our row with the tray?
So we will see how this goes. I am tempted to open it up to discussion but I do not think I am the right one to be talking about this. Then again, I get to sit on the stand and actually listen. That will be a change. Mike gets to sit with all 5 kids. There is a small positive side to this. :)

I'm sure you'll do great. Whenever I hear the song "Love at Home" I always think of the Schwartz family I grew up with. I'm sure your home is a lovely place to be.
We're given topics that help us, not because any of us are experts at it. Imagine if that were the case! There would be a lot of perfect people around us and I assure you there aren't. If I were you, I'd give a big disclaimer upfront and then proceed with what I learned researching the topic. You'll do great!
TOMORROW ... geeeeez! They could have given you more than a days notice. That would quickly raise a Mother's stress level and de-harmonize ANY home! hehe I'm sure you did great! =)
Sorry ... I re-read it. I guess the bishop did call last week. My bad. I'm still sure you did great!!!
haha...good luck
How did the talk go? I'm sure it was great. Did you make faces at the kids when you were on the stand? I think I do. I need to be more careful with that. Miss you guys!
