My new ward got off to a good start yesterday... - cougarguard.com — unofficial BYU Cougars / LDS sports, football, basketball forum and message board

The "special number" in sacrament was scheduled to be "Amazing Grace" but it had to be postponed because one of the singers was out; EQ ended 3-4 minutes early; someone quoted Woody Allen in reference to SWKimball; and in the general Priesthood group, the YM that gave their weekly announcements, announced the Styx-Def Leppard concert that they're all attending this Wednesday and said they have an extra ticket. If I didn't feel guilty going while my wife is unpacking, I'd be all over that.

I think this ward might be a good one.

I knew my ward was a keeper when my bishop showed up in a non-white shirt.

The EQ president in my ward always has us end with 5 minutes to go.

One more thing to add to my list is that stake conference ended 15 minutes early today and they didn't try to drag it out to meet the "standard 2-hour format."

(Not that I don't enjoy two hours, but if it's already been a good meeting, no need to add to it unnecessarily.)

Stake Conference is even shorter if you skip it.

I played "Amazing Grace" for this week's musical number.
