Trying to grasp the LDS book of scripture called Doctrine and Covenants for 2013. Trying to provide myself with accountability. Join me! The posts are organized following the schedule in the Sunday School manuals that are used across the world in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. However, the posts and comments are the views, thoughts and opinions of their authors.
I think I told you Riley and I got pegged to be in a "Strengthening Marriage" class a couple of months ago instead of going to Sunday School. It has, at the least, given us comic relief. But we actually have talked about issues we might work on. So it hasn't been a complete waste of time. Since your post this week is about the marriage covenant, I have a thought to share. In the past month we've been to a wedding in the Timpanogos temple and an LDS wedding in a chapel. Both ceremonies used the words "covenants" but the chapel ceremony pronounced them married for the duration of their earthly life (or words to that effect). I'm happy for both couples and hopefully the second couple will eventually end up in the temple where they can then remain together for the eternities. I'm glad I have both ceremonies to reflect on. And I'm even more glad I did it the temple way - I get to have Riley forever.
