When Jake fell off the plank leading to the dock when he was little for the second time in one visit he yelled out, "Not again!" That's been our family's cry whenever there's a recurrent event (like torn ACL's) that we weren't anticipating. That was my initial reaction when I was called to be the Bishop of the Belgrade 2nd Ward. I thought that my service as the University Ward Bishop (2000-2003) had earned me a Get-out-of -jail-free card but I was assured by the Stake President that it didn't work that way. My only consolation is that "whom God calls, God qualifies" because I'm definitely overwhelmed by the challenges and breadth of responsibilities. I was sustained and set apart on December 11---just in time to jump right in to tithing settlement.
