sunday goodies...a few days late

Church on Sunday was so good.  I can honestly say I spent my summer in the best ward ever.  Bishop Excell and his wife are amazing.  I'll definitely be keeping in touch and visiting them.
Here are some thoughts for you that people said on Sunday:
1.  Our great-grandparents called it the Holy Sabbath.  Our grandparents called it the Sabbath.  Our parents call it Sunday.  We call it the weekend.
2.  Every time we go to church we take part in a once in a lifetime experience.
Those really stood out to me.  Often times we don't show the Sabbath day the respect it deserves.  We want to sleep in, hang out, and do nothing.  We should treat it differently.
I never really thought of church being a once in a lifetime experience.  But it really is.  Every talk is different.  Every lesson is different.  Every testimony shared is different.  We generally take pride in taking once in a lifetime experiences, so we should treat church like that as well.
