Sundays are usually my busiest day of the week and this one was no exception. On the 2nd and 4th Sundays my meetings start at 7:00 a.m. at the Stake Center for a High Council meeting. If the LDS Church were a business, the Stake Presidency would be the CEO and President of the local corporation and the High Councilors would be the Directors over the various functions performed by the Stake. My responsibilities include music, the single adults (unmarrieds, divorced, or widowed over the age of 31), emergency preparedness, and liaison to the Cedar Hills Ward.

At High Council meetings we report on our areas of responsibility and receive assignments to be carried out. These meetings usually last about 90 minutes. From there I go to the Cedar Hills Ward and join their Bishopric meeting in progress. That’s followed by a Priesthood Executive Committee Meeting, which is usually followed by either a Ward Welfare Committee Meeting or a Ward Council meeting. These meetings usually end about 10:30 a.m.

The Cedar Hills Ward meeting block starts at 11 a.m. with Sacrament Meeting first. On Fast Sundays, which normally is the first Sunday of the month but this month it’s the second Sunday because General Conference was on the first Sunday, I then go to my home ward, the Juniper Hills Ward, to attend meetings with my wife Nina. The Juniper Hills Ward begins their block of meetings at 1 p.m. and finish at 4 p.m.

On Sundays other than Fast Sunday, I attend the meeting block in the Cedar Hills Ward which ends about 2 p.m.

Sometimes that’s the end of the meetings for the day. Sometimes there are other meetings to attend in the evening. Today was a special Stake Fireside on protecting families from the bad Internet while taking advantage of the good Internet.

Now it’s about 10 p.m. and I’m really finished for this Sabbath Day!

TTFN!
