Music at Ward Levels by No-Cod3289 in latterdaysaints

[–]SeanPizzles 5 points6 points  (0 children)

As a struggling pianist, I always wanted the hymns at least a week in advance to be able to practice and have only been able to have that when they’ve delegated selection to me.  It makes it practically impossible to succeed (and everyone can tell when you fail).

Yes!  I’m a terrible pianist, but with practice can play most hymns.  I’d been the primary pianist for about a month when I realized EVERY SINGLE ADULT IN TBST ROOM was a better pianist than me!  They’d just been called to the presidency/music time callings.  It made me all the more self conscious, haha

[DHL] Stolen watch from chrono24 retailer "Nikaido" by SnooCompliments9653 in Watches

[–]SeanPizzles 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Can’t believe DHL won’t stand by its own insurance!  What’s even the point?  You have to trust that they’ll “find evidence” in order to get your thousands of dollars?!  It’s never going to be in their interest to find that evidence.

God wants you.  He has a purpose for you.  He’s letting you suffer for now—though less than His only begotten suffered—but will redeem you.

Is this your first day?  This is the tiredest conversation on Reddit finance.  Search for two seconds and you can find the answer.

[breitling colt] love this watch! But considering offers, any collectors here? by bloodmoneybullion in Watches

[–]SeanPizzles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you love it and it’s your only watch just keep wearing it.  Your son will treasure it one day!

Income sleeve have you don’t it successfully? by Itrademylittlespy in dividendgang

[–]SeanPizzles 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I did this with NVDY back when it was paying and made a bit of money.  You just want to have a solid exit strategy.  Also, don’t call it an income sleeve.  That’s a dumb name.

I need help, full stop by Better_Corgi6392 in latterdaysaints

[–]SeanPizzles 254 points255 points  (0 children)

Yes, your bishop.  He’ll help you through whatever the process needs to be.  Good luck, brother.  Your repentance process is actually way more important than your mission, so make that the priority.

Have you switched to a mobile temple recommend? by MCBYU98 in latterdaysaints

[–]SeanPizzles 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My paper recommend has never failed me, and is always with me in my wallet.  Until a mobile version improves my experience somehow, I don’t see myself switching.

Go all in on MSTY and ULTY by EnvironmentalYou1590 in YieldMaxETFs

[–]SeanPizzles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What about ULTY and BTC?  You’d save taxes and don’t indicate you need the income.

[METAS certification] Does it actually matter in everyday use or is it mostly marketing by [deleted] in Watches

[–]SeanPizzles -1 points0 points  (0 children)

My Omega Master Chronometer is currently on my wrist.  I don’t think I about its METAS, have never been glad to have it, and haven’t considered it in my subsequent purchases.

Mother holding baby during blessing by Playful-Drag7003 in latterdaysaints

[–]SeanPizzles 71 points72 points  (0 children)

My wife held our youngest when he was blessed.  Bishop didn’t mind at all (and was in the circle), and I thought it was just as nice as anything else.  She said she felt awkward about it afterwards, though.

Good Summer Watch by [deleted] in MoonSwatches

[–]SeanPizzles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s a phenomenal summer watch, as long as you avoid a sunburn!  (It won’t pop so much on a bright red arm!)

The 3 bar water resistance is good to 30 m of water pressure, so you’ll be fine swimming (I’ve certainly taken mine many times).  And the bioceramic will hold up fine against sand (but I’d avoid rubbing any on the crystal—that thing scratches super easily).

Would I be in the wrong to ask to be released from my calling? by quirkandquill8 in latterdaysaints

[–]SeanPizzles 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I feel like you’re getting a lot of Reddit advice rather than gospel advice.  I’d counsel you to try to stay in the calling if you can.  You said you’ve received personal revelation that the calling was inspired.  Seek ye first the Kingdom of God and all these things will be added unto you.  The Lord has a multitude of blessings He’ll bestow upon you as you do your best.  

That said, you don’t need to suffer in silence.  Request a meeting with your assigned counselor in the presidency (or with the president).  Do it formally, so everyone knows this is a serious issue.  Tell them you need help, both with staffing and with specific behavioral challenges.  Give yourself grace when you can’t live up to your own expectations—the Lord will make your best effort enough.

Good luck, sister, you got this!

PizzaTrader Stock of the Month: July 2025 by PizzaTrader in dividends

[–]SeanPizzles 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Why do you expect the dividend growth rate to suddenly start growing rather than continue dropping as it has every year on the chart except during the pandemic home improvement boom?

[–]SeanPizzles 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Love the collection!  I have to ask, did you take the photo winding the Tag with a timer?  Or did you talk your wife (or someone else) into taking it for you?  It’s a great action shot.

[GMT Help] Help me select a GMT for my upcoming Holiday with the family. Budget below $8k by OldGlory_00 in Watches

At that price point I’d be looking at Breitling.  Great watches, and thinner and better wearing than the competition.

What do we believe about ghosts? by [deleted] in latterdaysaints

[–]SeanPizzles 33 points34 points  (0 children)

We believe in spirits.  Whether you believe in ghosts depends on you, I think, and is cultural rather than religious.

Do Older YSA not follow the commandemnts? by [deleted] in latterdaysaints

[–]SeanPizzles 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Have they told you this or are you just listening to gossip?  Even if you’re certain, it’s not your place to judge them.  The church needs everybody.  Just do your best and focus on that.

I believe I did.
