What strikes me today? Church is hard. No big surprise. I see families big and small that no matter what is going on in their lives, they leave church and go home as a families. Even the ones who aren't all at church together or won't all be home this afternoon together or don't live in the same house together--They're still together.
It sucks.
The gospel is still true. I know it. God knows I know it and I can't deny it. Church is still hard. What does that have to do with anything? I go. I endure. Sometimes I learn something. Today I learned that I have a choice to act or be acted upon.
I knew the topic for weeks--Keith was speaking--ward conference. It's an interesting topic. It was a good talk. It made me think. It applies to everything including getting exercise and eating right and having fun and being happy and on and on and on. It's not solely a gospel principle. There's probably many deep things to say. Can I really follow "It sucks" with any sort of deep insight and be believed? I doubt it. I'll keep thinking about it.
