Congratulations on your good news! I hope that you will keep your covenents in mind and be careful. I am really happy for you and I know that Heavenly Father is smiling down on you and keeping you safe. Enjoy your temple trip and be safe. I hope you don't live too far from the temple. I am 5 hours one way from the St. Louis Temple so I go when I can.

Hello everyone, I have many of those moments. I use to drink a six pack of coke at a time just so I didnt have to share it with my family beause it was my favorite soda. Sick isnt it? O also I have wonderful news that I wanted to share with you all . I have gotton my Temple Blessing re-instated and wearing my garments is the most wonderful feeling and having all my blessing restored is so wonderful. My husband and I are going to the Temple on Saturday..... I can't wait. Have a great day everyone. Always Kathy

I can think of quite a few things. I can't think of a specific instance but I remember the feeling of debasement when I realized what I had done. I never want those feelings again. I do remember sitting on a chair at my daughter's and it BROKE, in front of the whole family and my very proper and distinguished son-in-law had to help me up off the floor. (I tend to be intimidated by his upbringing to begin with. DC type people) Then again the same thing happened at another daughters home. Her husband had to help me up also. SIGH Let us pray we won't go through these things again.
Grins,

Topic: RE: What is your calling?
Hi, Ginger,
Currently, I am one of two Ward Family History Consultants. I LOVE this calling. It is fraught with challenges that I never dreamed it would have though. I actually thought it would be easy but in reality, is one of the hardest I have ever been in and I have done a bunch!
I loved Primary and adore the children but really do not want to be in it right now. Nor YW. Don't think I would be particularly good with the girls although I do teach alot of arts and crafts to them on a guest basis which is fun. No, I will be content with being the "Candy Lady" handing out hugs and candy to all the babies, children and teens and not dealing with the discipline etc. (Was recently released as a RS teacher and vt superviser)
Grins,
Kaye

I hope that you are on the road to recovery and you can get back on track. Feel free to email me if you need to talk to anyone or to just vent. We all have to get off a little steam from time to time.

Currently, I am the Sunday School secretary and the Assistant Chorister in the Relief Society. I miss being in the Primary but, with my disability, it is not feasible for me to be around the children. But, I do enjoy being in the RS and with the sisters. It is so uplifting.
I have given up trying to avoid the Bishopric and just let it happen.

I can't believe that I am going to tell this to you but, I was eating some candy as well, a whole bowl of M&M's and popcorn. I made a real glutten of myself. I didn't see anything wrong with it at the time, but, I was just so famished that I did this and didn't care...did I mention that I was alone at the time and I was feeling sorry for myself? Oh well, that happens to all of us at one time or another.
I am so glad that I am not that way anymore. I don't miss that old lifestyle and the pain that went with it.

Hi Melody,
This is an embarrassing one. Last year around this time I was beginning to wonder if the wls was really for me. The YW were planning to stay the night at the bishop's cabin. Because I was one of the leaders, I thought I'd better not sit this one out. I knew that on Saturday morning we were planning on driving to the snow to play in it. Now you guys gotta remember, I live in the Phoenix area. We folks aren't used to snow. I thought they were just going to drive us to the side of the road..NOT !!Everybody was supposed to climb into the frozen lake!!! I tried walking from the car to where everyone was hiking down the trail and my feet got stuck in the mud/slush. I quickly realized that if I went down that mountain..they would need a helecopter to get me out!!! I stayed up on the hill with the cars. I had nowhere to sit. All I could do was listen and watch the kids and leaders all laughing and sliding around on their inner-tubes. I had 2 hours to myself. I did allot of soul searching, praying and crying. I knew that I couldn't go the rest of my life watching others have fun..I wanted to be part of the picture from now on. From that time on..I was committed to getting approved for my RNY. I am 12 weeks out and 54 lbs lighter. I have sooo much more to lose but I am happy just being a LOSER now.
Hugs

Dear Gala,
You are right. Sometimes it is soooo hard to pull yourself out of bed to get to church in the first place. I think that is why I have the calling in the ward library. Just to get me to church each week. I thought it would be easier to get to church for us each week because our hours changed from 9:00 to 11:00 instead. It was good that you got a chance to visit your grandma..she needed you.
hugs
Ginger

I don't have a calling. I have been asked a time or two to 'post' things to the Ward website threw lds.org. I've been given 'administrator' privs...however, never been officially called to the position.
Quite honestly...I'm not sure that I want a calling right now or anytime in the near future. Its all I can do to drag my rear end out of bed let alone to church. I've not went the last 3 Sundays. Last Sunday I had planned on it. however, my grandma was hospitalized w/blood clots on Saturday and Sunday was my only time to go see her. She was/is an hour away.
