Well, it has happened.
The one thing I've always said would be the hardest job in the church.

Gospel Doctrine Teacher.

I substituted one week for Gospel Doctrine a few years ago.  I thought it was very brave and nice of me to offer.  I read scriptures so much that week, I was like a full time scriptorian!  Several hours a day! And, I did understand why people that teach Gospel Doctrine usually love it---cause there is no way you can spend that much time reading scriptures and thinking scriptural things and not be on a spiritual high!  I figured if I had that job permantly, I'd be translated.

Now I don't know if God is getting ready to translate me or if He is just giving me a loving smack and saying "You have to read scriptures everyday! Quit making excuses and just Do it!"  I'm guessing it is the 2nd option. 

But, just in case, I did point out the first possibility to the Sunday School President who is MY HUSBAND when he asked me about the job.  I reccommended he go back to the Lord again for clarification.  He said he did and still knew it was the right church job for me.  He didn't even act threatened when I said I might be translated and he would be all alone to raise the children and such.

Naturally, I have whined so much about the calling that I am in NO DANGER of translation or any other heavenly action (except maybe lightening).  But I figured in a year or two, I may be a kinder, gentler person by then and Bam!  He's going to be left to take care of the kids himself.  Just in time for my daughter to have a meltdown over college, another kid to reach full blown puberty, and the other teenager to find another girlfriend to LOVE and swear this is the real one, for sure!  He'll be sorry then, for sure.

Jodi Wilson taught the lesson today and did a great job....So right there I could see someone that would be perfect for the job. Someone that is not me.

My debut is next week.

So, I figured I'll be thinking scripture so much, that it will be easy to blog about it a bit, which means it is a perfect time to resurrect my Scripture Reading blog.   I could fill up a couple pages now of my musings (I've read 10 chapters and a couple commentaries this week, after all.) but I thought I'd feel better in the long run if I actually start organizing my thoughts into a LESSON so this is enough of a post for now.
