Callings and Tender Mercies

So have I mentioned my latest calling in church?  Go ahead.  Take a guess.  I guarantee that never in one million and one years will you guess.  I will give you a hint.  It's a calling that I have NEVER, EVER had in my whole entire life.  O.K.  so of course my handful of readers are mostly cyber friends.  I will give you some help in guessing by telling you the church callings that I have had over the past 20 years:

  • Relief Society President, R.S. Teacher, Visting Teacher Coordinator
  • Young Women's President, YW 1st Counselor, YW 2nd Counselor, Beehive Adviser
  • Primary 1st Counselor (times two), Primary 2nd Counselor (times three), Nursery Leader, Primary Chorister (times two), Wolf Den Leader, Bear Den Leader
  • Gospel Doctrine Teacher, Gospel Essentials Teacher (times 2), Sunday School Teacher 12-13 year olds (times 3)
  • Organist
  • Seminary Teacher 
Humor me.  Just because you know, I am trying to be happy and all.  What is my latest church calling?  Leave a comment in the comments section and I will tell you a little story about my calling in tomorrow's post. I am not even going to promise some fabulous prize.  If you know me, you know how well the post office and I get along.   It's all well and good in theory, but I lack the follow-through skills to actually be able to send you a prize.  I can however offer you a big giant cyber hug . . . or maybe even a kiss on the cheek.

Nursery Leader...the best calling ever!!!! That's my calling. When I started we had 34 kiddos, now I only have 21...Love them.

Are you the person who brings the flower arrangements to church? Probably not, but at our church this seems to be the most contested job going... I have no idea why either.

I like the word 'organist' :)

I think it is the Activities Leader. That would be appropriate since the position has been virtually eliminated since the last Leadership Training in November.

Honest Injun' - I haven't looked at the Thursday post to see what it really is. But, you can just send my prize ASAP. I know I won. Why would you get a calling that is still in existence?
