Primary Talk - Showing Respect with Church Clothes

Each Sunday morning, when I wake up, my mom makes me take a shower, brush my teeth, and asks me to get dressed in my church clothes.

Sometimes, I try to wear my shirt untucked -

but she always tells me to “tuck it in and get a belt”.

Sometimes I try to forget my tie -

but she always makes me feel bad by telling me she

“wishes I would wear it.”

Sometimes, I even try to wear my football socks -

And sometimes I get away with it.

But when we are sitting in sacrament meeting,

she usually sees them and gives me a sad look

and I feel bad that I disappointed her.

Now that I am getting older, I am starting to understand why my mom makes me wear a tie, tuck in my shirt and wear my church socks.

It is to show respect to my Heavenly Father and His house.

Wearing my church clothes also helps me act a certain way.

At school I wear shorts and T shirts

so I can play basketball and run around with my friends.

On Saturdays I wear my football uniform and cleats

so I can run in wet grass and tackle people to the ground.

I know I will get dirty.

I can’t imagine playing basketball, running around with my friends or tackling someone in my church clothes.

My church clothes help me to be reverent and respectful.

There is a primary song that says:

The chapel doors seem to say to me, - “Sh, be still.”
For this is a reverent place to be, - “Sh, be still.”
We gather here on the Sabbath day to learn of Jesus, to sing and pray.
So when we come through the chapel doors, - “Sh, be still.”

Our church and especially the chapel is a sacred place.

It offends Heavenly Father when we come to church not dressed in our church clothes and not being reverent.

We are Heavenly Father’s children and we need to look and act the part.

I hope that each Sunday we will come to church in our best clothes, be reverent, and listen to our teachers, so we can show respect to our Heavenly Father & Jesus.

I say these things in the name of Jesus Christ, amen.

Arrow of Light

I got my Arrow of Light last night for Cub Scouts.

Now I can start going to the Blazer Scouts.

Me, Dustin, & Alex

Akela asked me if I had done my best in my first 3 years of cub scouts.

I said "yes".

He then burned my handkerchief to see if I was telling the truth.

If I was lying it would have burned to ashes.

It didn't.

It was really cool.

My dad awarded me my Arrow of Light patch.

I pinned my mom with the Arrow of Light pin.

It was a cool.

Game #4 vs. Alta White

Game #4 Alta Silver vs. Alta White

It wasn't pretty.

First loss of the season.

I got sick after half time and sat at a few series.

I played QB but we couldn't get anywhere.

I don't think we made a first down once in the entire game.

We lost 49 - 0

Game #3 Alta vs. Herriman

We played Herriman Gold this week.

They were brutal!

My mom says that they made us all cry DURING the game, but we made them cry AFTER the game.

Playing Quarterback

At the end of this play I got tackled Helmet to Helmet. It hurt and I had to stay out a few plays. It sure made my mom nervous when she saw the medic come running over to me.
