Every once and a while you will find yourself in a sacrament meeting where the speakers leave a lasting impression on you. No, I'm not talking about the speakers that give talks that inspire you to do better or shed immense light on a gospel conversation. I'm talking about the talks that you will always remember and look back on that will always make you chuckle. This last Sunday in church down in Arizona we had one such talk.
One of the speakers was a young woman from my in-laws ward. She was giving a talk about the temple and the importance of living your life in such a way as to prepare for entering the temple some day. One of the things that she touched on a couple of times during her talk was the importance of dressing modestly. After one such reference to dressing appropriately, Heather leans over to me and asks, "Do you see what she's wearing?" I hadn't noticed, but this laurel-aged young woman was wearing a sleeve-less dress that was very low-cut. After that, every reference to dressing modestly made us start to laugh.
The only other "impressionable" sacrament meeting talk that I have, was actually a testimony in my sister-in-law's singles ward in Provo. She related to us one girl's remarks in her testimony one fast Sunday. She was all choked-up and apologized for being "filled with feelings of overwhelmtion." That one is still a house hold joke that gets brought up every once-and-a-while.

I've never heard of once and a while, more like once in awhile.
