Something to think About.............

A Washington , DC . top congressional policy advisor who is also LDS, has said the vast majority of GOP congressmen are endorsing Mitt Romney. He thought a Mitt presidency was no longer improbable, but, it is now something that "could happen."

So..., if Mitt Romney became President of the US won't we have something we've never had before -- a president who goes to a specific church? All other presidents belonged to religions that didn't have tight congregational boundaries. Now, think about that:

What Ward would Romney be in?


If you are his new Bishop, here are your top 10 questions:


1. Will you allow an inaugural ball to be held in the
cultural hall? Do you mount security cameras on top of
each basketball rim and have a secret service detail
stationed on the stage?

2. Can you call Mitt and Ann as the Nursery Leaders...
even if you really feel inspired?

3. Who is going to home teach them? Will you call
someone who needs activation but may not pass the
vetting and national security screening?

4. If Harry Reid and Mitt Romney are in the same High
Priest group, will you need to be there to keep order?

5. Exactly how will tithing settlement work? Will the
Secretary of the Treasury come too?

6. Will you be inviting the new Romney family to speak
in Sacrament Meeting... and if they go a little over
at what point do you ask them to sit down?

7. Will the Secret Service do a sweep of the building
before each meeting? And if the Romney's always leave
before Sunday School, will the Sunday School president
need to interview them? If they stay, where will you
hold the class?

8. Can you call the Secret Service agents to help out
in Primary?

9. If you give Mitt a calling and the two Democrats in
the Ward raise their hand AGAINST sustaining him -
partly out of habit - does the Supreme Court need to
be involved?

10. If you can't give them a calling, and they don't
attend very often (for presidential stuff) will that
mean they're "inactive?" If they're not active, can
you give them a Temple Recommend ? And if you do, can
they go? Will the Secret Service have to screen the
temple too?

11. If the President wants to hold Sacrament Meeting
at Camp David or the White House for security reasons,
is that a conflict of Church and State?

If you're assigned to be the Romney's Home Teacher:


1. Can you just drop by, no appointment?

2. Can you even call them for an appointment or do you
have to go through the Chief of Staff?

3. Can you bring by Christmas sweets and cookies?
Will they be analyzed? And for how many people -
family, secret service details?

4. If you don't come can the IRS do an audit on you?

5. Will they want to do a national security background
check?

6. Do you have to have a permanent companion who has
been vetted? Can you just grab any teacher or priest
to come with you? And what if that priest has been a
little wayward. Do you need to search him first?

7. Do you have to help him move in and out of the
White House?

8. If Ann Romney gets sick, are you allowed to bring
in meals or at least tell the Relief Society about it?

9. What can you share with the Bishop about the
Romneys?

10. Do you have to ask them about their year's supply?

11. If you get a late night call for a blessing will
reporters follow you around wanting to know what was
wrong and what you said?

If Mitt Romney is assigned to be YOUR Home Teacher:

1. Is telling the group leader you haven't been home
taught a national security breech?

2. If he wants to come at the end of the month, do you
accept his reason "I've been out of town"?

3. Will he drop by unannounced or will the media crews
give him away?
