While watching a few people do their "callings" the past few weeks at church, I thought it might be funny if the church actually advertised jobs in the paper. For example:

Must know the difference between white board markers and chalk. Must have an expansive knowledge of familiar Mormon pictures. Must be able to complain when the copier breaks down.

Oh Abe you surely are going to be in trouble for all your complaining about the church! And you forgot that a librarian qualification can also be for someone who refuses any other position in the church and loves being a librarian so much that his eternal salvation could be at stake if he didn't have that particular job. . . . sound like anyone you know????
Does sound familiar Tam...and please do not think that I am complaining with this post. I just having some fun, pointing out some goofy things.
I always know I can never take you seriously Abe :). So I know you're "complaining" is all in fun :) :) :)
Funny stuff
Since I was teaching Elders Quorum yesterday, I required chalk. I think getting a loan for our house was easier than getting loaned 3 pieces of chalk.
And of course, the sign out pencil was attached to the clip board by a piece of string. I heard that a lot of people join the church just to take advantage of the free pencils.
