Urban Poly Princess

There is a librarian social at Squatters Bar tonight. I don't want to go to the bar BUT it is a great networking opportunity, ok actually the more I consider it the more I feel I'll be blessed by NOT attending. I am going to finish filling out one of my paper applications and then turn it in. Other than that I'll look for a couple more positions to fill online for my unemployment but I also need to memorize and have down pact all the skill statements and me in 30-seconds I wrote. After that I'll check into joining the accelerated job search program with the church employment office.

Ether 1
41 Go to and gather together thy flocks, both male and female, of every kind; and also of the seed of the earth of every kind; and thyfamilies; and also Jared thy brother and his family; and also thyfriends and their families, and the friends of Jared and their families.

This is reminiscent of Noah. Is there something we're supposed to notice with the collection of all animals male and female. Besides yet another reminder of how important it is to get married, to sustain life we need both sexes, obviously, what else are we supposed to get. Animals, seeds - the creation story is even depicted in the temple. Why is it so significant? Why does the Book of Mormon include this account and is it literal like we usually suppose or not as some scholars have suggested? I just feel that I am missing it somehow.

Dallin Oaks - Afternoon Session
Be wise in explaining and exercising our influence especially with controversial issues. We should be persons of goodwill race, ethnicity, differences in sexual orientation. Policy differences need not include personal attacks. 

His address was very timely with the Supreme Court's decision to not rule on same-sex marriage.
