Today we had combined Relief Society and Elders Quorum because it was the 5th Sunday. But this also meant that we got the chastity talk together which I'm not a fan of. The girls who were in charge of the hymns were trying to come up with some "good ones" for the topic. Erin was thinking Master the Tempest is Raging, which I thought was a great idea, but they didn't do it in the end because we would've been laughing too hard. I suggested Love One Another just in case we got some marriage discussion, too.
In the end, neither of these hymns was chosen. But this meant that I behaved better.
Ward prayer tonight was a rousing production by BB8. The song was excellent, from Jekyll and Hyde, but the lyrics came from BB8. I laughed so hard when Lisa put on her tiara that I fell over onto the pew. She is the Relief Society Princess, after all. She turned the time over today to the bishop by doing the royal wave. I had to hide behind a corner while I gained my composure. Ahhh, Her Royal Highness, the great Lisa Bunker, made me laugh. Those girls in BB8 are hysterical. And they can sing well, too. One of them does have a tendency to plant avian corpses, though.
Oh, and if you wanna laugh, just go to Granary #5 late at night. Em has some pretty funny migrating red problems that kept us entertained for a few hours.

Hymns for a chastity talk and other musical moments

yeah well at least i don't have a migrating larynx
ha ha...master the tempest is raging! That is a great choice! Megan's sister Kristen said that song was a pirate song, but I could see it as a chastity song also!
I thought "How Great the Wisdom and the Lover" was a popular hymn in your ward!
The last time I was in a ward that combined priesthood and relief society, it was the most embarrassing Sunday of our lives. The first counselor (sp?) spoke on modesty. The second on pornography. Finally the bishop spoke on same-sex attraction. By the end everyone felt embarrassed and awkward and you couldnt look at anyone else in the congregation. However, since then at least half a dozen guys from that ward have come out of the proverbial closet.
I'm so glad that we could make you laugh. Of course, the falling over on the pew was the favorite reaction of the night. Lisa has taken to waving her new royal scepter around the apartment though . . . you've planted a dangerous idea. ;)
