During
our church service one Sunday, a parishioner was speaking about an emotionally
charged topic and had trouble controlling her tears. Finishing her remarks, she
told the congregation, "I apologize for crying so much. I'm usually not
such a big boob."
The
bishop rose to close the session and remarked, "That's okay. We like big
boobs." -- Contributed by L.S.

When
touched by the Spirit, people often find it difficult to contain their emotions
as they bear witness of the truthfulness of the gospel. One fast meeting, a
sister stood to bear her testimony. Holding a Kleenex to damp eyes and
struggling with her feelings, she said, "I don't do this very often because
I'm such a big boob."
After
she sat down, a member of the bishopric stepped to the pulpit. Offering what he
thought was consolation, he said, "That's okay; we like big boobs."
