Sunday thoughts

Today was a different kind of day. A couple of my kids are sick with some sort of stomach bug and stayed home from church. When I left for church I had a nagging headache but thought it was just because I didn't sleep well last night. 

Wrong.

Before church was half way over my head was pounding and before the last speaker I knew it was my turn for the stomach bug and went home as soon as the closing prayer was over.

But inbetween leaving for church and coming home I had a couple of thoughts for poems start brewing. I wrote them down when I sat in the pew, intending to flesh them out when I got home. When I got home I went to bed.

And I am just hoping that the dishes got done after everyone ate because I hate getting up to a sink full of dishes.

On that note, I am going to give you the bare bones beginning of one of the poems:

The Tantrum

She folds her arms, stamps her foot and says
No! I won't!
as she fixes me with a haughty stare of defiance
And I, resigned, sigh and say
OK, have it your wayh
But I think,
Why can't you see how much better for you
my way would be?

And then I think of all the times
I have folded my arms, stamped my feet
and in defience said
No, Lord, I won't
And He, in patience, sighs and says
Ok, my child. Do it your way
But when you are ready
Come to me and together we will do it my way


And tomorrow begins a week long giveaway on Karelene's blog. If you like books you are going to want to check it out because books are going to be featured prominantly in this bloggy palozza of Karlene's favorite things.

It's In the bag

My sister tagged me to share what is in my Sunday bag. So, here we go:

This is my bag. I got it free with a coupon. I got a new quad and it fits perfect in this bag.

Contents:

My quad, Teachings of the Presidents of the Church of Jesus Christ: Joseph Smith,Book of Mormon class member study guide, Mini hymn book, pad of paper for note taking, 2 Relief Society announcement papers, a stray cough drop, 1 tithing receipt, small paper with this month's Relief Society song to memorize.

In the small inside pocket:
1 mechanical pencil, 1 black ink pen, 2 red scripture marking pencils, 3 tithing receipts, 6 tithing envelopes and slips, 2 slips of paper with Relief Society scriptures of the month for memorization, 5x7 laminated copy of The Family- A Proclamation to the World- on the back is a copy of Four-ward and Four- ever, (a paper my dad gave me a few years ago with things that his ward was doing to strengthen family and ward), a 5x7 laminated copy of my patriarichal blessing


Temporary things or things that make you say Hmm?
1 purple Jolly Rancher (I think this was part of a lesson in Relief Society about a month ago- I don't eat them, so I must have just thrown it in the bag when class was over), 1 paperclip, a bag of 12 different colored buttons, 5 magnets, Primary lesson manual and a bag of candy.
The buttons were used as markers in a game we played when I substituted in Brandi's class about a month ago. The magnets were used to hang the Title of Liberty and a map of the battles of Moroni and the stripling warriors the next week when I subbed again. The manual and bag of candy are from 2 weeks ago when I subbed yet again. We had stake conference last week and the teacher hasn't come and gotten the manual yet. She gave me the candy to give to the class as a incentive to be good. 1. it was fast Sunday- so I didn't use it, 2. I don't believe in candy as an incentive or substitute for preparation and engaging lessons.
I took out the Sunday School lesson books. I am the permanent Sunday School substitute and for a while I took all the books with me in case someone didn't show up and I was needed last minute, but it was too heavy to carry as a just in case, and if I am really needed last minute, it is a short walk around the corner to come back and get the specific book I need.
Notice that there was not a Primary song book in my bag.
Tomorrow will be a book review post for a blog tour. After that, I will be reading.

Indeed.
