Actually, it finally dawned on me last night that Dwight's subliminal message in quoting IV Nephi 38:22, which does not exist, was that he is making up his own scriptural reference in order to zap me in a very subtle way. Since I was born "literal", that isn't too difficult to do.

Roland Hogg was our teacher. He offered a Book of Mormon to anyone who would read it through. I still have it. At the risk of sounding smug (was I that hard to take?), the quote in the front states, "To the most meritorious student in my Sunday School Class." and was signed by the teacher. It was later than Burchell was my teacher - I'm afraid we didn't lead him a very easy time of it - obviously, I had quit being "most meritorious".Elizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14728351230605312730noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4114307744147144762.post-3961010723605256882008-07-22T10:53:00.000-06:002008-07-22T10:53:00.000-06:00I feel this posting did not receive the meritoriou...I feel this posting did not receive the meritorious comments it deserved. I think I improved on the original cover by a substantial degree, with the girl in puffy sleeves smiling sweetly as she was reading the B of M and the young man with the pompadour hairdo gazing fondly (at the girl in the puffy sleeves) who one presumes is not his sister or he would have a whole lot different demeanor. This manual is probably worth a mint by now. Actually, never having read it to this date, I was alarmed on p. 113 to read "Because the righteous rest from all their troubles, care, and sorrow, it does not mean they suddenly become idle and inactive [when they croak]. Idleness could not bring happiness . . ." Wow. Now there's something to worry about. I want to be idle. I don't want somebody bugging me about doing chores or cheering up the wicked, etc. There is some alarming doctrine in this book (seriously). Good thing I didn't read it 60 years ago.Dwighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06174492647465668322noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4114307744147144762.post-1112067155408941092008-07-20T18:07:00.000-06:002008-07-20T18:07:00.000-06:00I'm happy to have so much psychoanalysis of my cov...I'm happy to have so much psychoanalysis of my cover. Actually, you have all missed the mark. The problem was, the original cover needed redecorating as it was a bit much. The cover is battered after taking it to church every Sunday. The inside is in mint, pristine condition from never have been read or opened. On to the next subject. At least it kept everyone busy for a day or two and that's what counts. Only Louise and I were in the class. Liz was with the younger children, as it was.
