Your hypothetical son is in charge of bringing the bread for the sacrament, but he forgets to mention this hypothetical fact until you're walking in the hypothetical door to church. Hypothetically speaking, of course, you know there is only half a loaf at home and l5 minutes just isn't long enough to whip up a hypothetical loaf of homemade bread. So my merely hypothetical question....
Is "ox in the mire" bread any less blessed than bread acquired in a more hypothetically righteous time frame?

It happens in real life all the time unfortunately. Several times in Moscow, I went on Sunday morning bread runs since I was one of the few with a car. I remember one time when the actual sacrament portion of the meeting was postponed until the end of the meeting while we searched high and low for someplace open on Sunday. One time, we actually had to go in the back door of a local restaurant and beg them to sell us a loaf of bread.
The SuperAmerica store next to the Anoka chapel sold more than a few loaves of bread to young LDS teachers over the years.
So, hypothetically speaking, it happens...
Since that has NEVER happened to us, you'd NEVER see us at Giant on a Sunday morning running through the bread aisle. (yeah, right.) I am so glad our family is done with the teacher phase.
Ha ha ha! Thanks for the laugh Lara.
What? We ate ox-mired bread???? However, I think I'd prefer that to the bread they blessed a month or so ago that Jeff said had been pulled from the Stake kitchen's freezer and nuked in the microwave. The expiration, I believe, was well over a year ago. I remembered it being pretty gummy.
Same as alexandra...our ward resorts to the freezer bread ;)
Luckily our ward is near a lot of homes, so we would probably do an sos call to someones house. Also we don't have a big ward under 100...so a whole loaf isn't needed.
Did you know I went to a ward once where an old lady had the "unofficial" calling of making fresh bread (I think she liked to do it)...oh my! it tasted so buttery and yum!!
Mmmmm, fresh homemade sacrament bread, did that boost your attendance, and did the AP break it into bigger pieces?
Nice topic, Lara!!
I really like the homemade bread idea. I would be all over that for the sacrament.
So, you never did mention what you hypothetically ended up doing.
BTW, this happened all the time on my mission. Someone who was supposed to bring the bread didn't show up. Sometimes we ate things other than bread for the sacrament, like crackers.
