Many Are Called But Few Are Chosen

I have two, 4-5 hundred page books to read (The Chosen and Jane Eyre) by March 9th. It's for a class that Stranger and I are taking. He's already through his first one and I haven't started yet. I've read Jane Eyre a dozen times already so that one will be easy but I have only read The Chosen once, probably 12 years ago.

Then yesterday we were called upon to give talks in Church next Sunday. Short notice is wonderful because it cuts down on the worry time but it's stressful to think about getting four talks prepared in one week. Stranger tried to bribe me into writing his talk for him by working out with me tonight at the gym. "Sure honey, I'll get started on it right away!" The amazing thing is that last year we gave talks in our old ward and we were asked to speak on "Preparing Every Needfull Thing". It took me about 15 seconds to write an hour long discourse!

You'll never guess what topic we were given this time around. How has service in the Church blessed your lives??? Help!!! I am on the edge of my seat wondering what the selfish Wonder Trouble will come up with for that topic. This will definitely be a learning/growing experience for me. But I already have my first quote. I heard this on the radio so I need to figure out who said it, "Service is doing what you don't have to do." Duh.

Stay tuned!
