As a prophet, I am present at many predicaments.

Recently I was asked by a funeral director to pray for and dedicate the final resting spot at a grave side service for
an elderly widow who had no money, no children, no siblings or other surviving loved ones, so the service was to be at paupers cemetery on the West side of the Salt Lake Valley.

As I was not familiar with the West Side at all, I got lost.
I finally arrived an hour late and saw the funeral director had evidently gone and the hearse was nowhere in sight.

There were only the diggers and crew left and they were eating lunch. I felt badly and apologized to the men for being late.

I went to the side of the grave and looked down and the vault lid was already in place. I didn't know what else to do, so I sought inspiration from that Wise One above and started to play.

The workers put down their lunches and began to gather around. I prayed out my heart and soul for this widow woman with no funds, family and friends. I prayed like I've never played before for this sweet sister.

And as I prayed fervently as even, young Joseph Smith prayed in the Sacred Grove, the workers began to weep. They wept, I
wept, we all wept together.

When I finished I packed up my scriptures and started for my car. Though my head hung low my heart was full.

As I opened the door to my car, I heard one of the workers say, " I never seen nothin' like that before and I've been putting in septic tanks for twenty years."

And Jesus wept for laughing out loud at His silly servant.

I liked that. I could almost hear Tommy squeezing that one out. :)

throughout the years. And most of them are poor, bedridden etc.

Just as the war stories from Paul Dunn were bunk I am inclined to believe that Tom's tales are just as farfetched.

"Monson's Widows" all lived so long ago that there could be no tracing the story. Yes, I'm convinced they are contrived, bullshit stories, but who's around to verify?

No money, no zombie husband, and a plumber who was confused?

That's it? That's all the profit can do?

Jeeeezus Kriiiiiiiiiist.

I read this story a year ago supposedly written by a bagpipe player in Canada. Supposedly he played amazing grace on the bagpipes. Guess monson can't play an instrument so in this version he prays.

"As a prophet, I am present at many predicaments."

BS meter off the charts!

Since when did any of those 15 bastards ever come down from their lofty condos to attend to poor members? I thought the directive was to have the local authorities handle such "predicaments" while they count their money in their towers?

Oh, yeah. All he could do was pray? What, not even a fund raiser? Not only is he a huge, fat, liar. He is a huge, fat, stingy liar.

... of course, I hope he did, as I don't think Paul Dunn did near the damage to the church that his lying deserved. A Monson lie would be better -- and will NEVER get the full story of young Bishop Monson "servicing" those widows.

Hey those rich bishops dont care about nothin!!! I went a year and a half without heat in a falling apart house in UT. The evil bishop wanted to get me to conform so he wouldnt help me. I overcame that obstacle, and that is only one of the reasons I left the morg. I am finally free at last...sign me Utah mo no more!
