My son went through a rough divorce and so stayed with me a while. Anyway, he moved out and lives in a huge house with 4 other guys who are attending USU. Two of them are return missionaries and told him that right after the homecoming..there was no return. Something is definitely happening to these young people when coming home..but treating them like children isn't going to cut it...most of them are already pissed off.

Interesting..one of the roommates mentioned that he and his companion would knock on a door..one would give the spill..the other one would stand behind and just say words..like banana..pizza..he said it was a proof that no one was listening to them.

Mohammad solved this problem 1500 years ago. In Islam it's simple: You leave, you die. Maybe the church needs to bring back the penalties in the endowment ceremony?


You know I was joking. Were you?
