GET READY FOR SUNDAY BREAKING NEWS: GENERAL CONFERENCE GREETING CARDS

GENERAL CONFERENCE GREETING CARDS
(By Bettyanne Bruin)


Wish you were here
watching conference with us,
but we understand
that sometimes
things get in the way.
Ever since you had
that nervous break down
after discovering you had glued
all the pages of your scrapbooks together,
life just hasn’t been the same.
Get well soon, Mom.
We love you!

Thinking of you on this day ...
draped over the arm of your chair
like a rag doll napping,
reading the paper with it held so close to you
and high enough that we didn't even know you were there,
wrestling all of us ‘til we cried,
then picking on, Bobby, the family dog.
Ah, the happy moments we shared.
Thanks for everything
and Happy General Conference Day, Dad.

Every other day of the year, you get out of bed early.
But, today, stay in your pajamas,
don’t get out of bed,
don’t brush your teeth
or take a shower,
eat your scrambled eggs and toast in bed
with crumbs dropping all over your sheets
‘CAUSE IT'S GENERAL CONFERENCE SUNDAY!!!
Thank goodness we're LDS!

Thank you for teaching me how to surf the TV channels,
then land on the Conference channel
just in time for the testimony.
You’re the greatest, Dad!

Shut the shades.
Put on a mask.
It's General Conference Sunday!
Take the phone off the hook.
Ignore the banging that WILL come to your front door.
It's General Conference Sunday!
Wear ear plugs.
In fact, hide in the closet.
You deserve to have one day to yourself, Bishop.
And have a great Happy General Conference Sunday.

Here’s hoping that while flipping back and forth
between all of the NFL games
and General Conference
that you will not miss out
on the announcement
that the millennium has begun!
Happy General Conference Sunday!!!


I remember all the Sundays we’d watch conference:
The junk food,
the fights,
the messy house,
the series of lengthy naps.
Thanks for creating such good memories
and traditions that will last a lifetime, Mom.

Grandma,

remember how you used to bake
those molasses cookies
and make us sit up straight for two hours?
Now that my back has recovered
and my digestive system has returned to normal,
I can honestly say,
thanks for the memories.
Happy General Conference Sunday, Grandma.

Someone from Sandy, when she was younger, she believed the 13th Article of Faith read:

We believe in being honest, true and chased by an elephant!
(Needless to say, she was a little afraid of this one.)

Other misunderstood Articles of Faith include:


#4: We believe that the first principles and ordinances of the Gospel are: first, Faith in the Lord Jesus Christ; second, Repentance; third, Baptism by immersion for the remission of sins; fourth, Laying on our vans for the gift of the Holy Ghost.

#11: We claim the privilege of worshiping Almighty God according to the dig dates of our
old con chins, and allow all men the same privilege, let them worship how, where, or what they may.


#6: We believe in the same organization that existed in the Primitive Church, namely, apostles, prophets, pastors, teachers, Eve's jealous, and so forth.
