- Exploring my patriarchal blessing
- It talks about assignments that build upon each other in succession.
- As I read that I thought of the progression of assignments I observed for Brian Taylor as he went in succession from Stake Young Men’s President (as I recall) to Stake President to Mission President to General Authority Seventy in a matter of only 10 years (which is a fairly typical term for a stake president).
- It talks about preparing financially to be able to fill assignments.
- I had assumed that was referring to my teenage mission but now I wonder if it applies to upcoming assignments. I am not currently in any way prepared to take any calling that would impact my ability to continue working and earning in the next 20 years.
- What options exist at this point that could allow me the means to serve full-time if the Lord called? The only one clear right now would be working for the church in some capacity—assuming that they would continue paying a salary if I was called to something that took me away from my role with church employment.
