Today Jake and I attended the funeral for a co-worker.
Listening to the preacher makes me so sad for people who do not
understand the gospel. While I know he is doing his best to provide
comfort to the loved ones (and he very well may be), my heart is full of
gratitude that I know more. I just want to stand and correct him and
run to our co-worker and profess that death and sin have already been
overcome and their mother lives.
On
a different note, Jake was called as bishop today for the Bartlett 2nd
Ward. He is the man called by the Lord to serve in that capacity right
now. We were fortunate that my parents were able to come up (although they and the boys were not told what was happening - you should have seen Will's face!) and Jake's dad and brother's were here because they leave on the boys trip to tour civil war sites in the morning. President Scot Canfield offered him a beautiful blessing as he set
him apart (although many parts I could not hear). Some of the things I
did here after all the rights of a bishop were bestowed him were as
follows: Heavenly Father appreciates you, loves
you, and has a respect for you. You honor your priesthood and family.
Heavenly Father loves your charity. Jake was
blessed with personal revelation, the ability to peer into hearts and
minds of others, and offer blessings of Heavenly Father. He gives you
better understanding, blessings, and blessed him to be an example for
others. Jake was blessed with health, strength, comfort, and the things
of the world not enter our home.
