rodheadlee Posted March 30, 2018 Posted March 30, 2018 I'm serious there is a lot of discontent here.Just exactly what do you want the Church to do, to be? I'm not going to make a long list of names, you know who you are. Christ knew Judas would betray Him, He let agency run it's course.

In no particular order: I want the Church to be the custodian of the Restored Gospel, particularly including its authority, ordinances, and revelations. I want the Church to be a community of faith. A place of safety, support, love, service, encouragement, repentance, obedience, correct principles, patience, unity and hard work. I want the Church to be free from hypocrisy, equivocation, unrighteous dominion and pride. I want the Church to fulfill the Great Commission to the fullest extent possible, while still respecting the agency and choices of those who go a different way. I want the Church to be a good neighbor. I want the Church to be a good steward. I want the Church to serve the poor and those in need. I want the Church to obey the laws of the land, and to be protected by the laws of the land. Thanks, -Smac 11

I have never been a "car" guy. I just don't care about vehicles. For me, they are simply a means of getting from Point A to Point B. Except for older model Mustangs. They are just . . . cool. -Smac 2

The Nehor Posted March 30, 2018 Posted March 30, 2018 I want to sleep in on Sunday. 6am Bishopric meetings are too early. Only God can get away with asking it from me. 2

Recently one of my kids bought a 2015 Volkswagon GTI, a car I would never have thought to even consider. I went with him to test drive several and to offer support. One of the versions we test drove was a stick, which he did not know how to drive, so he had me drive it. Wow, there are ways to get from point A to point B and then there are ways. That car was a whole lot of fun and is top of my list for my next inexpensive daily use car purchase.
strappinglad Posted March 30, 2018 Posted March 30, 2018 If the story/parable of the missing 116 pages of BoM manuscript teaches us anything, it teaches us to be careful what is asked for , because along with it comes unintended consequences. Oh, and for the petrol-heads here :
