After a little over a month in our new ward, here in Macomb, IL, I’ve received a calling. It is the exact same calling I had in our last ward<\/i>, right down to taking care of the Weblos. And I’m delighted. First, because I know the routine. Second, because it’s nice to know where you’re supposed to be–and for a bishopric that’s known me for only a few weeks to pray and then ask me to serve in basically the same area I’ve served in for most of my church-going adult life…well, that just gives me a sense of confirmation about my niche.<\/p>\n
I wrote about my return to Primary<\/a> after a brief detour over a year ago; my feelings about Primary haven’t changed since then. So check out that post, and leave a comment there<\/a>, if you’re so inclined. In meantime, wish me well–I’m free of elder’s quorum once more!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" After a little over a month in our new ward, here in Macomb, IL, I’ve received a calling.
