While your commen...Aren't memories wonderful? <br />While your comment is sweet, I'm really no different than anyone else in my congregation. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is comprised of lay leadership. No one is paid for their service, and positions are filled by assignment rather than asking for volunteers. (The person is asked privately if they will accept the calling, but there is not any campaigning, politics, etc.) Before I served in the women's organization, I was the cub scout committee chairman. I've known a bishop who, when he was released as bishop, was called to be the pianist for the children's organization. There is a calling for everyone who chooses to accept one. <br />More info. can be found here: http://www.mormonnewsroom.org/article/mormon-lay-ministry<br />Kristihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14136276061114462192noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6085311167627297994.post-39127957989155461912014-12-08T09:12:03.685-07:002014-12-08T09:12:03.685-07:00Well, although the tree and houses are up, the box...Well, although the tree and houses are up, the boxes are still all over my house.

My grandmother had those, seeing them makes me think of how she always loved to put up her table-top tree and nativity scenes, ceramic small tree with the colored bulbs and everything. It's such a nice tradition. That is a beautiful tree. I like to sit by the glow of the tree, there's nothing like it.<br />That's great you volunteer with your congregation, what a wonderful feeling. I'm sure they are more thankful for you than you are of them :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15170306739961711124noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6085311167627297994.post-44317363711645616552014-12-07T20:00:40.302-07:002014-12-07T20:00:40.302-07:00Nice list.
