Tithing Settlement last night. Our temple recommends expired last July and in August we went in for renewal. I signed mine in the wrong place and haven't dealt with it until last night. So I haven't been to the temple in the last 6 months. (sad, but I am fine with this.) Now a friend of mine had the bishopric over to her house a few months ago and she was all but chewed out for not going to the temple monthly and then for going to the Dallas Temple instead of the Oklahoma City Temple (Because our stake is crazy obsessive about going to our temple, because according to them the only reason to attend the temple at all is so that our attendance numbers are up therefore earning us our own temple. Screw personal edification or service for the dead, its about numbers people.) Now here's the thing that has been bothering me (and the part where most of you will roll your eyes and think this the stupidest post ever), why didn't the Bishop hold Jeff and I to the same standard as my friend. Are we such loser slackers that he's just happy we come to church? He told me to come back Sunday and we would resign it then. There is a ward temple trip this Saturday! He didn't even ask if we were planning on going. He just assumed we weren't and he was apparently fine with that! Maybe he didn't want to see us there. Crazy as this sounds I kinda want to be held to a higher standard. Maybe it would encourage me to do better. I do better when someone else holds me accountable, not just myself. My real guess is that the Bishop is tired of me, I am usually bugging him about something, like nursery gates, and he doesn't want to talk to me more then he has to. So I leave this thought with a song my sister, Krista made up that has become a theme song for me lately. Take the tune from the Primary song, "Genealogy, I Am Doing It." Mediocrity, I am doing it! Mediocracy!

Oh and in case your thinking this is because I just had a baby, nope. My friend had a newborn baby when the bishop came to her house. No, we call ladies to be relief society presidents when they are pregnant in this ward. (No slam on her here, she is awesome, I totally love her.)
Who knows? It's hard to say. I haven't been to OKC temple in years. Bishops never said one word to me about it. It's hard to say. Maybe you should call the bishop about it. I would be surprised to see his reaction.
