Does That Mean Three More Years?

It was roughly two years ago that Paul was sustained as the bishop of our ward.  “They” say it is a five year calling . . unless it’s more or less.
‘They” also say that being bishop accelerates the gray hair and/or the balding process.

It hasn’t.  I think Paul is up to 4 gray hairs (all of which he is very proud!) 

He needs to practice his stern look.  Scary?  Not!

I’m lucky to be married to such a great guy. . .

but I fear it will be many more than 3 years until he is released.

Who Needs Sleep?

I was extended a call to team-teach seminary. . . early morning seminary!

Instead of doing anything else, I immersed myself in the scriptures.  The course of study was the Old Testament.  I was familiar with parts of it, but not all of it.
I began my teaching experience by teaching the words of Isaiah!  In order to do that, I had to understand what had been going on in the chapters beforehand.  I am lucky enough to live with someone who is well versed in the Old Testament.
I can’t say that I was the best teacher these great kids ever had, but I learned more than I thought possible.
I also learned to manage my time a bit better.  I spent my mornings studying, my early evenings asking my hubby questions (so I could understand things I didn’t quite get while I was studying) and went to bed much earlier than I ever had before.
I’ve always heard that teaching early morning seminary is the hardest calling in the church.  I have an increased appreciation for those that have taught for years.  I wonder if they ever feel like they get enough sleep!  But I imagine that they are well versed in the scriptures.  How can you help it with the daily, intense scripture study with all the available recourses at your finger tips?
