It is pretty much a lazy Sunday afternoon. James is playing a game, I have been reading and Max is the epitome of cuteness. He has started giggling and growling and I admit we spend a lot of time just listening to him.
I went to Relief Society and although it wasn't any great spiritual experience, it was good. I learned something new. The lesson was on the organization of the church and included the 6th Article of Faith. I never knew that an evangelist was a patriarch. Just an interesting bit of info.
Sacrament meeting went well. Max was good; he seems much more comfortable there now. I had a bit of an gripe about the speakers; the first one I couldn't even follow and the second was a conversion story. Now granted as he told the story about their child being born with complications and I sat there holding my perfect little boy, I cried. But as far as being spiritually uplifted, not so much. I guess I am craving some real meat of the gospel. Not the fluffy stories and songs that are meant to get you all emotional but don't really teach or inspire. I want the scriptures and the hymns. I should probably stop depending on church talks and start doing some studying myself.

I understand the frustration with sacrament meeting. With kids, it is already hard enough to sit for an hour, so I can get really annoyed when the whole meeting ends up being fluff.
Sundays are just hard! Some weeks I have to remind myself that I'm mostly there for the Sacrament and anything else is just a bonus.
This ward is actually doing great for speakers - it's the talkamonies that gripe me. And the fact that I feel like a stranger with no real connections to the ward. Good thing the speakers make up for it.
