Today the 3 amazing men serving in our bishopric were released and 3 other amazing men were called to replace them. We have benefited and learned from these great men over the last 6 years of service and are better for knowing them. I was touched by their humility and goodness and am sad to see them go. But I am also excited for this new group to serve because I know they have been called by God and will do an amazing job. I love the way the gospel works!
Comment Window Tidbit: I could really use another day of weekend.

I love the way the gospel works, too. It's smooth. It's consistent. It makes sense.
Well wishes to your new bishopric.
I love the way it works, too. I hope our current bishopric stays for 6 years!
Wow, 6 yrs is a long time but they must have been fantastic.
We just had our released and I am loving our new bishopric. Since they got in we have had a full running primary! Something that has never happened.
I remember when my last bishop got released. He said a few words then casually just walked off the stand to sit with his wife, no fanfare of any sort, ready to move on to the next assignment. Made me cry.
I could use another day off too! Or a week.
I always enjoy your Sunday thought and your outlook on these things.
Six years? That is a long time! I thought the cut off was 5? I love the relationship that the Bishop has with Landon. That is why certain men in callings like that I feel are called just for that reason. They CONNECT and other's know it.
Sounds like your Rodeo and all the fun things they do really unified your ward.
I, too, love how the gospel works. That serving is a wonderful time for certain people and different times. Learning, growing, progressing and reaching out to those around us.
Even the church teaches us to accept change and to see it as opportunity.
