Let's pretend that you are a huge Jazz fan and lo and behold, you had a chance to go to a Jazz game. They were playing the Lakers in a playoff game. The seats were unbelievably awesome. You would be able to reach out and touch Kyle Korver (swoon). Now add to this scenario, the game is on Sunday and one of the ticket holders is the bishop. And furthermore, the game is on Mother's Day - and it's on KJaZZ and ESPN. What should or what would you do?
1. Attend Sacrament Meeting and then go to the game. Church is over at 12:00 and the game doesn't start until 1:30.
2. Forget church and go to the game and be prepared to battle the onslaughts of criticisms from certain ward members. But you would be supporting the community. Do you tell people were you were - or fib - because they may see you on TV.
3. Have the bishop go to church and the wife goes to the game alone. (and still sits close enough to touch Kyle Korver) and who to give the extra ticket to?
4. Realize the greater good - and say "no thank you to the tickets" and go to church and play the piano and organ. Because you know that Larry H. Miller will not be attaending the game because he is going to be in church and keep the Sabbath Day holy.
What to do? What to ?

Well the time has already passed, what did you do? This way I can support whatever decision you made.
Well, I read this after I called you this afternoon and all I can say is "Wow"; that does seem like quite a predicament. I probably would have gone because it's pretty easy to find a substitute for the primary and also since it is very rare that I can go to a Jazz game; I would have taken full advantage - that, i know, is different for you and Dad - opportunities to go see the game abound.
Alas, I ended up watching the game and lucky for Jenn, the Jazz won. A couple of thoughts: Deron Williams is the future of Jazz basketball, Kirilenko scares me when he starts dribbling the ball and someone please tell Carlos Boozer to make Odom go to his right. Also, Hubie Brown is a Laker homer and the best was even during the replay of questionable calls that clearly showed HB was wrong, he didn't even hesitate and stuck to his assessment - amazing - if you noticed, after a while they stopped showing replays. And I love it how all of the sudden the Utah crowd is labeled "raucus" and "hostile" (obviously with a negative spin) yet a crowd like Golden State (great home crowd last year) was a great story line that was hyped up ad infinitum with the lame decible reader. Where's their crowd now?
It will be hard in LA but at least it's now a series. Mom & Dad, I know you guys were rooting for the Jazz, and I'll just say that both of you are Great Americans!
One final thought from the game: I don't know what's worse, that Derek Fisher finally found his three point shot or that I recognized and pointed out Zack Efron to Jenn.
