We ended up at lunch the other day sitting at an empty table and before we knew it, all the bishops and our president were seated with us. The bishops were all very down to earth and we had a great conversation.

He and my pastor don't see eye to eye on many subjects. The bishop just prefers to avoid us rather than be reminded of the issues we think are important.(so thinks my pastor - I think he's probably right)<BR/><BR/> Anywho, keep studying hard and have some fun whenever possible!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5221130573871037403.post-47329667918748891642008-10-23T09:41:00.000-04:002008-10-23T09:41:00.000-04:00Amen, Law and Gospel.
