shocker

So today at church the bishop's counselor pulls me aside and asks to talk to me. Of course, he wants to give me a calling. It might be nice to have one, since I have been in the ward for about a year and a half now. I have had almost every calling in the RS except president so I was thinking maybe something in there. Part of me was expecting something in the primary since I teach elementary school, and since our primary has several children with autism.
Guess what they asked me to do?
Young Single Adult rep.
First of all, I don't even know what that calling really is. All I knew was that I had to clarify that it was definitely the YOUNG singles. I'm having no part of Single Adult activities. I did accept of course. Maybe it is just my ridiculous cynicism, but I feel like this is yet another validation that I will never have any kind of identity at church beyond "unmarried". It's frustrating.

i feel your pain. my bishop wanted to call me as the single adult rep(they want to keep me from the youngsters)and i just flat out told him no. i have never done that. my bishop and i are pretty friendly, so he took it pretty well, but he had noted my own cynicism and thought i would want to create some change. no way. good luck with that. please post and let us know how its going.
