I once had an friendly argument with a coworker of mine. I was thinking about how we pay tithing and how you could properly pay tithing on your income. My argument is if I own my own businesses my income would be calculated after all of my expenses and one of those expenses is fuel. I do co own a business and we do not include buying fuel as part of our income. Our income comes after we pay for fuel and other expenses. From our bottom line is where we would calculate tithing. My argument is this. If i owned my own business my gas to get to work and back would not be included as income my income comes after I deduct gas. My job should be no different. I need fuel to get to work so I shouldn't pay tithing off my full paycheck. This argument went on for a while until my coworker suggested I should set up an appointment with a general authority and ask him to which I replied that would never happen.
My dad was set apart as a missionary by a member if the quorum of the 12. He has a special connection to this apostle and has requested him by mail that he perform his kids temple ceilings. I believe he has requested for each one of ours so so far he has requested 7 times. He does get a response that the apostle is busy at this time to which I am fine with. What bugs me is when I hear stories or read blogs of encounters with "famous" Mormons who talk about their experiences with members of the quorum of the 12. Wether it's a blessing of a Olympic athlete or a meeting with the tattooed lady. You might even have a famous blog get to meet one of them and they will include you in their talk. I just don't understand how so many of these "famous"Mormons get to meet them by chance but my dad doesn't. I know they are busy but is it because he's busy or that his office thought my dads request was just to far fetch to even ask him.
There's still 2 more waiting to be married.
there's still a chance but we're not famous.
