katherine the great Posted March 16, 2010 Posted March 16, 2010 That is the FUNNIEST thing I have heard in quite awhile!!!!I actually know a few people who's interpretations of life border on that philosophy. I just don't get it...
Hamba Tuhan Posted March 16, 2010 Posted March 16, 2010 I'm curious to know: Don't you have children of your own?No, unfortunately. Nor a wife for that matter. But the Lord has mercifully compensated in the meantime by providing me with nearly 20 sons, many of whom are fatherless or virtually so.

There is something nice about having a leader who has time to spend with the kids and more of a "youthful" perspective.
Lamanite Posted March 16, 2010 Author Posted March 16, 2010 Ok, as a former Chapel Mormon, I can tell you that what you did is properly classified as "recreation".So what you did was "breaking" the Sabbath. And there are specific "do's":Were you really a Chapel Mormon? Flood, Hemispheric model, and all that?I know there are some do's and dont's, but I'm glad they are not as far reaching as how many steps I can take or how long I'm allowed to kiss my wife during the Sunday nap.... Big UP for the Sunday NAP!!!Lamanite

O-Brother Posted March 17, 2010 Posted March 17, 2010 Just curious about how others observe the Sabbath.I live in the Daybreak community near the Oquirrh Temple. There are lots of trails and playgrounds and grassy fields to play on. Today I took my four daughters out for a run about 2 hours before Sunset. Here is a short list of what we did:1. Ran hard and fast.2. Ran slower and sang Bob Marley Songs.3. Found a park with lots of hills and rolled down them till we couldn't stand up.4. Found a garden of giant rocks and stood atop them and pretended to give speeches. We recited the preamble and I recited Matthew 5 (Sermon on the Mount)4. Sang church songs as we watched the sun set on the Temple.5. Played on the swings and talked about school, friends, life, etc.6. Ran home and sang a song that each person chose. When we got home we were sweaty and grassy and very happy! I think it was a Sabbath well spent.Anyone else take a more conservative approach to the keeping of the Sabbath. I'm perfectly fine being attacked here as I put myself out there.Big UP!LamaniteSounds like you spent some real good quality time with your family that they will cherish for years to come. I see nothing wrong with it. Looks normal to me.

cinepro Posted March 17, 2010 Posted March 17, 2010 Were you really a Chapel Mormon? Flood, Hemispheric model, and all that?I believed everything I was taught in Church manuals and publications, and by my very knowledgeable but somewhat conservative father.And as far as Sabbath observance goes, we don't have anything on these guys!A Kosher Beach That's Not For the BirdsOrthodox Jews in California's Venice Beach have found a 3,000-year-old loophole to a Jewish law that prohibits them from enjoying the beach on the Sabbath. But as Rachael Myrow of member station KPCC reports, environmentalists are concerned their solution might be dangerous for local birds.
