Yep... There's a belt loop for that....

This past week we had our monthly Cub Scout pack meeting. Our boys learned about video gaming maturity levels, proper time management as well as other gaming safety precautions. We had a great time. After the training we set up a rotation and let the boys go around the room playing different types of gaming systems. It was so much fun!

Priesthood Preview

*This is an after picture. I didn't think to take a picture until it was over.*

We only have one boy advancing into the priesthood this year. I was worried he would be surrounded by adults staring at him and making the night uncomfortable for all so I invited some of the Young Men that had already advanced to join us. Now, to be clear..... I did not know anything about Priesthood Preview. After research I found. 


I asked one boy from each of the Young Men classes to come and speak. 

Deacon President was asked to speak on the responsibilities of a Deacon, one Teacher to speak on the responsibilities of a Teacher and then one Priest to speak on the responsibilities of a Priest. 

We had out Bishop finish up with an overview of Priesthood responsibilities. The theme of the night was around Neck Tie's. I enjoyed our bishops comments that included a discussion on the tie. There are many different sizes of neck ties. A child looks pretty silly wearing an adult tie. We must grow into the larger tie's just as the young men need to grow into the different levels of the Priesthood. 

This evening was for that boy whom will advance into the Young Men organization but I am a little embarrassed to say that I learned so much that night..... You know the chairs we sit it.... they don't magically set them self up? LOL- Okay I did know that, but my point is that These Young Men sacrifice there time in many many areas to help our church function. There are many times they are up early to lets say.... set up chairs and are staying later to collect fast offerings for our church. This church truly helps us raise our boys into men... men that will serve and be a positive impact on our society. I am so blessed to have been part of this amazing night and I thank all of those that participated.
