Reverence Issues

Yesterday, upon entering the chapel prior to Sacrament meeting, I was accosted by three of my children, all primary age.

"Mom! They asked Luke to give a prayer next week in primary!"

I was just finishing a conversation with a friend, so I did not pay much attention.

"OK," I responded distractedly.

"No, mom! They asked Luke to give a prayer in primary next week!"

"OK, that's great," I once again replied.

"No mom! They asked Luke to give a prayer in primary!!"

Finally, sensing their urgency, I turned to give them my full attention. They handed me this.



The looks on their faces told me they were worried, and when I assured them that it would be fine, they responded by informing me that he would have to give a prayer and be reverent while doing so.

Hmmm...now I could see the problem. Luke, the jokester, who can't seem to manage to sit quietly through any prayer, let alone give the prayer without making crazy noises, talking like a monster, or just laughing at himself.

Well, this ought to be interesting!
