The Wheat and the Tares
Jun 6th, 2008 by Stephen Erastus Knudsen III
I heard a rumor today that they will be dividing our ward boundaries at Stake Conference this Sunday. I wish they had consulted me ahead of time. I have a few suggestions on the boundary lines in order to keep the really promising members and get rid of some of the riff raff (yes Brother Snell, I’m looking at you). But the good news is that this will open up another Bishop slot. I haven’t heard anything yet (although if I had, I wouldn’t be able to admit it) but I’m keeping my fingers crossed. And I started a fast. Maybe I should put my name in the temple, too. We’ll see what happens. It’s all up to God anyway, but maybe he can be convinced. I’ll let you know.
A wise man once said, anyone who would seek after that calling, deserves it…
Only a Bishop, Stevie-Boy? Why stop there? Why not try for stake president or area authority seventy? You’re setting your sights much too low. . .
Line upon line — milk before meat. Bishop is just one step along a great and marvelous path — the Lord in his infinite wisdom has prepared amazing things for me. You’ll see. You all will see.
I am behind you all the way, Elder Knudsen III. In fact, I have so much faith that your calling to the office of Bishop is imminent, that my right hand is already raised to the square. Hurry though, it’s already getting a little tired, and it’s also difficult to type with just my left hand.
