Benefit or Burden

[SuperGabers]

Hmmmmm, I wonder what my reason is. I felt like I was just venting but maybe I am looking for support on my belief that this is unreasonable.

Totally not unreasonable. Family first. Take care of the home.

While entering my fourth hour of Church related meetings last night, I started thinking about whether the LDS Church is a burden or a blessing to its active membership. It is very hard to convince myself that the best thing I could do after work last night was run home, change the work bag for the church bag and leave my crying two year old, infant, and exhausted/crying wife to thier own devices. IMO, this might be a result of my failing belief but I firmly believe no amount of warm fuzzies can make a person believe God, if he exists, wanted me to do that. I can't wait for Sunday and its 6-8 hours of religious interference with my family.

Just take your baby with you. That gives your wife a break and sends a message to the Bishop.

Of course it's unreasonable. The irony is you'll have to discuss this unreasonableness with the person who has the most unreasonable calling of all.
