Isn't it Ironic?

     Irony is everywhere....and I revel in finding it!  Today proved to be a gold mine for irony.
     My husband and I got into the car to head off to church. We were late and it is a 15 minute drive. Sometimes we feel the urgency to get there as soon as possible, but today wasn't one of those days. As we approached Pitcher Butte, my husband commented.
    "Hey, I wonder what's going on up there?" I put down my mascara, (When you are running late, make-up application in the car is a time saver...in fact, I can't remember the last time I applied make-up in my house!) and looked up the road to see lights flashing.
     "Someone is being pulled over, for some reason or another, I guess," I replied. A fleeting thought teased "I wonder if someone else from our church is late?" Thanks to my husband's radar detector, we have been saved the embarrassment! We drove past them, trying to get a view of the driver....he looked familiar.  We drove into the parking lot, and the red crew cab 4x4 trucked raced in behind us. As we got out of the car, I saw the young couple race to the church entrance....her blonde hair blowing in the breeze, his suit and tie flapping unceremoniously...they had a greater sense of urgency than we did, that's for sure.
     Entering the chapel, we quickly found a seat and looked up to the pulpit. The 1st councillor was announcing the speakers and their topics.  A glance behind him revealed the young couple...their topic...."Follow the Prophet and Keep the Commandments."!
