In the beginning

Yesterday was ward conference, which isn't too big of a deal (after being involved in 10 of them) expect for the part about being one of the speakers in Sacrament Meeting. I gave a talk about families and even used the ole suggestion box and clown collar as examples on how to use mealtime and traditions to increase communication and teaching opportunities. I also went into the creation and the first couple and I came across a concept that I hadn't noticed previously. If you look into the Pearl of G.P. Moses 5, it discusses the creation and if you look at how the creation is presented it looks as though the spiritual creation happened the way we usually learn about it: Light & Dark, Water & Land, Flora, Fauna, then Man. But then it appears that the physical creation is a little different with Adam being the first flesh into which the breath of life was given, followed by the animals and finally Eve.
There are a few talks available from that information.

I hope YOU got the Clown Collar last night in that case.

Don't even doubt it. It looked great with his suit and tie.

I agree with Toni, clown collar to the bishop for giving a talk! I think you should have worn it during your talk to illustrate the point, it would have sunk in to those visual learners better.

I did hold it up to my neck so they would get the idea. One of the primary presidency said to mom later, "I want to come to your house for dinner, it sounds pretty fun."

Can you elaborate on the talks about the spiritual vs. physical creation?
