Margaret Young, # 19,

I stood there in the locker room, clad in my towel, and raised my hand to sustain them all.

Not only is that an only in Utah moment, but you are now officially the coolest person I have ever heard of.

Maybe the H-istoric event is the new makeup of the general RS presidency. Read the bios here:

Any single RS sisters care to comment?

Swisster,
I know it goes without saying, but wouldn’t it have sounded funny for JRH to condemn the women’s complaints as “gruff” or “bullish”? I mean, when they increase volume, women can much more easily become “shrill” than men can. It’s just physiology; they have shorter vocal folds. Besides, that paragraph was directed only toward the women; He’d already blasted the men.

Didn’t Elder Holland also quote the apocrypha? Unfortunately, he didn’t give the reference, but that’s still a rare and wonderful thing to do. Good talk, but based on his choice of words along stereotypical gender lines (e.g., catty, shrill, whine for women), I thought for a second I was listening to Sean Hannity talking about Hillary Clinton. :( Other than the gender problem it was a good talk.

This from the AP article posted on Santa Fe New Mexican.com linked to on the right sidebar:

The Tabernacle stands as a testament to faith and community, church elder Marlin K. Jensen said Friday during a tour for the news media. “Until the day they removed the scaffolding, half the people at least thought this whole thing would fall down,” said Jensen, a member of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles, the faith’s second-tier of leadership.

Way to check your facts, AP.

I’m fairly confident that the H-istoric event was the rededication. Those don’t happen every decade as part of GC.

Tomorrow someone is going to stand up and say that the whole “Historic” thing was an April fool’s joke that the Q of 12 wokred on together. Now that would be “H”istoric.

I thought the “History-with-a-capital-H” was referring to the middle initial of a rather auspicious figure.
