Render unto Ceasar

Politics and government were a lot different back then!

All things look alike unto me

My son and I were visiting a ward in Utah County that met in an old building that had gone through several renovations. It took us almost half of sacrament meeting to find the bathrooms -- they were tucked away in a tiny corridor. It didn't help that he was in a hurry!

Always look up

It's all in the context.

Hard copy

Even back then there were people who didn't want to sit and listen to all the conference addresses. They'd rather read it at their leisure. The problem with that, though, is you miss out on all the live action stuff, like the gasps at last October's temple announcements. Plus raising your hand for the sustainings and saying amen to the prayers by yourself is, well, just a little weird.

Toward the temple!

I like Gramma's little family history stories -- they remind me a little of Peabody's Improbable History.

Keep a watchful eye

In my family, it was my job to keep my dad awake during meetings. I was pretty good at my job...but my dad didn't like it!

Just a word...

After four years, Zarahemla Times will be taking a brief hiatus for the next couple of months. But don't worry -- in the interim we'll be running a selection of some old favorites. They'll be running on Tuesdays and Fridays, so tune in!
