I was writing up blog entries during most of the first hour, Sacrament Meeting. In my opinion, the only important part of that meeting is the sacrament. The songs are great and prayers are always good. I am just too critical of the speakers at times.
When it occurred to me that it was about time to go, I stopped writing. Sunday school, the second hour, gets a raw deal on time when the ward has excellent teachers.
I checked the clock and it was exactly 1 hour since the beginning. I kept muttering that the guy needed to sit down and that he was wasting my time. I got excited when his endless stories began to wind down, but he blabed on for another 20 minutes!
Frankly, I don't recall what the point of his talk was nor did I care at the time. Probably don't care now either.
I enjoy a good teacher. It inspires me to study more. This particular teacher has made comments in the past that made me question if intellectual interest was favored over practicing what was preached.
It was easier to follow through with my plan to skip the third hour because the Manning’s were leaving. There is something wrong about packing 20 grown men into a tiny room. Especially in the winter when the heater is already at 80 degrees or so!
