I don't want to lose Seminary! -cries-
Okay, over that, the more I read that introduction, the more it stinks. I gotta work on it.
Uh... So yeah, I don't want to switch the ward boundaries. Seminary is in jeopardy. I don't like that. Losing SPL calling might not be devastating. I hate that I'm worrying about people, though. WHY DO I WORRY??? I DON'T WORRY. I WORK. That's all. No worrying. It just wastes time. And distracts me from schoolwork. I'm telling you. Those assignments are going to be lousy. -looks at papers- Yeah... I might want to redo them... Not that it'd help. -grumbles-
I don't want to type... Strawberries aren't working anymore, either. Not even in cake. I hate it when I think Seminary is changing...
-sigh- So very unhappy.

"I don't worry, I work." is a pretty good motto.
In a way, I like that you are worrying about people. It shows that you are a true leader who cares about the people in his stewardship.
I don't usually like change, either. But have faith. The Lord is at the tiller. We will be sad about some things, maybe happy about others. Over time, it will be for the best, if we rely on the Lord.

You shouldn't completely lose seminary. You just may have to change where and when you meet and who your instructor will be. :)
Sariah, the changes you mention are what he is worried about losing. He loves the Bro. and refuses to believe that there are many other excellent Seminary teachers. (His opinions are not necessarily those of the motherhood.)
A few good quotes on change:
Change in all things is sweet. - Aristotle
Things do not change: we change. - Henry David Thoreau
I can't change the direction of the wind, but I can adjust my sails to always reach my destination. - Jimmy Dean
There is nothing permanent except change. - Herclitus
And another of my favorites, from Everwood:
"The more things change, the more they stay the same." I'm not sure who the first person was who said that, probably Shakespeare or maybe Sting. But at the moment, it's the sentence that best explains my tragic flaw, my inablity to change.
I don't think I'm alone in this. The more I get to know other people, the more I realize it's kind of everyone's flaw. Staying exactly the same as long as possible; standing perfectly still, it feels better somehow. And if you are suffering, at least the pain is familiar.
Because if you took that leap of faith, went outside the box, did something unexpected, who knows what other pain might be waiting out there. Chances are it could be even worse.
So you maintain the status quo, choose the road already traveled, and it doesn't seem that bad, not as far as flaws go. You're not a drug addict, not killing anyone, except maybe yourself a little.
When we finally do change, I don't think it happens like an earthquake, or an explosion where all of a sudden we are like this different person. I think it's smaller than that, the kind of thing most people wouldn't even notice unless they looked really really close, which thank God they never do. But you notice it. Inside you, that change feels like a world of difference. And you hope that it is and this is the person that you get to be forever. And you'll never have to change again.
Do phoenix have eggs? I thought they they were just reborn in the fire.
Those are some really good quotes, Debi.
