We Received Duty to God and Faith in God Awards

    I earned these as a Cub Scout and later as Boy Scout; later as an adult we receive other religious accolades and aplomb, at times. We recognize others in their service and devotions. We uphold and sustain others' in their callings and duties.

    In trying years we hearken back to God, and try to do His will more. Even in the years of prosperity we ought to do the same. Be gracious and thankful, and give to others and to God for all He does. We have to do our own parts as well.

    We deserve medals, of the type when were children. But we do not often get them.

    Maybe the boys were favored over the girls? It has been said to me recently. Priesthood and passing the sacrament, for one gender only. The priesthood is a male thing.

    Who makes these rules? The bride of Jesus is the Church, not a woman, as told in the scriptures.

    Who made these rules? The apostles that recounted of the Lord's ministry?

    Or was it the Master Jesus Himself?

    Who makes the rules? God above, or the appointed ones down below?

    Who chose them? How do we know?

    Write it down, says the missionary.

    

    I am writing.
