License to Kill and Authority to Call You as Nursery Leader (updated)

I love our ward. Everyone is very friendly, outgoing and the leadership is really on the ball. Our bishop is great and an inspired leader and it doesn't hurt that he looks like Daniel Craig (James Bond) either. I say that people look like other people quite frequently but even Tim agrees. He says he looks like a less worldly version of him. He sits up front with the brooding bishop look that looks an awful lot like Daniel Craig's famous pucker. Having a bishop that looks like James Bond makes for a lot of fun. We joke about being in the 007th ward and that the Relief Society president is "Sister Moneypenny".

Tim loves to humor me and teases me incessently about it. A few weeks ago the Bishop spoke in Primary when we were substitute teaching. First Tim points out that the Bishop has a scratch under his eye.

"Look Kristin, he's been in a fight!" Then the bishop proceeds to tell a story about when he was recently in Korea (he was in Sweden last week) . He was driving along the freeway and noticed a mother duck and her ducklings following her, walking along the highway. He spoke of how important it is to stay away from danger and not cross any lines. Tim exclaimed,

"Impresive that he could notice something like that while he was fighting the driver for control of the wheel."

Today bishop, tomorrow who knows what. We may someday have a general authority who can kick your butt or take it to church.


(The general authority picture is obviously photo shop with a picture of Daniel Craig, but so is the other one in case you were wondering. I would love to get a real picture but it would be kind of awkward to ask for one. I should volunteer to make a ward photo directory, start with the bishopric and then just give up. )

This post was fun to read, just because everything Tim said, was typical work Tim. It's fun to know he's that way at home to. BTW, I love the photoshop pics!!

You crack me up! Way to have fun with your blog! I think activity rates would go up if you had a bishop like that! All the ladies would come to see him, and the men would come because they might believe he would know if they were sluffing!!!

I would love to be a fly on the wall in your ward...just in case he ever came bounding over the front of the pulpit for one reason or another.

Just do what we do when we want a picture of someone. Put on your track shoes and hide out in his bushes. when he leaves for work yell "Hey Bishop!' then take the pic and run. (I find wearing an Osama type outfit works well..they never guess who it was. But then if he really Is Danial Craig he'd probably just pull out a gun and shoot you...just take the picture fast!)
