Last Sunday, my cute roommate, Kaylee, gave a talk in church that was excellent! After sacrament meeting let out, the part of our club who is always our club went to congratulate Kaylee on her talk. (Last night, we named our club - the Kaylee, Stephanie, Whitney, Amanda, Ben, and Sometimes Rylan Club, I turned it into an acronym (KSWABSRC). Acronyms make everything cooler. It is pronounced Kay-Swab-Sirk. Cool, eh?) While we were congratulating her on her talk, I mentioned how I hadn't given a talk in sacrament meeting since I graduated high school. The second counselor overheard, and, needless to say, I am giving a talk on Sunday.
He didn't give me a topic. He told me just to make sure it was a church-appropriate topic. So, I guess discussing politics is out of the question. I was discussing my predicament with my colleagues at work on Monday, and Amanda also pointed out that I couldn't talk about work. We were scrubbing showers at the time. I said that I actually could talk about work. I pointed out that I could turn it into an object lesson; I could liken cleaning showers to repentance. You see, you are technically supposed to wipe out the shower everyday when you are done showering. If you keep cleaning the shower at least once a week with the chemicals, keeping the shower clean isn't too hard. However, if you start slacking off, you will eventually have to get out the razor and start scraping. Sometimes, it gets so bad, you have to get the maintenance people to try to fix it. Sin is like that, too. If you repent everyday, repentance isn't too bad. If you continue to take the sacrament every week, you can really keep on top of things. However, if you slack off, the repentance process is hard. The process may be painful, difficult, and even cause you to want to give up. Sometimes, things need to be resolved with a higher power.
Then I realized that any scenario could be used in a sacrament meeting talk. After all, all things bear record of Him. I am almost positive that is a quote from something church-related. Since I do not know where it is, I cannot properly cite the source. But don't worry. I am not going to get up in sacrament meeting and talk about cleaning showers for ten minutes. I have a much better topic in mind.
Unfortunately, I may not be able to give this excellent talk! The Apocalypse starts in an hour and a half! Therefore, farewell, blogging world. See you all in heaven! But, if that clever man who figured out the world ends tomorrow is wrong, then you will be hearing from me again. So, you just have to suffer through these excellent posts awhile longer.
