Man, I don't think I'd like church very much, either, if I was stuck in the library. I'm sure for some people that is a wonderful calling but I would be going stir crazy!!!!

As far as my weaknesses, well, of course, I don't have any Besides not being able to see my own weaknesses, of course....

Actually, DH and I both are constantly working on not being so flip about people (esp leaning over and making witty but cutting remarks during church...oops). Anyhow, it's so much fun but it really drives the spirit away. We have a much better church experience when we hold our tongues! I am also working on being more patient. Sometimes I have a very short fuse and it is so hard to calm down when I am in that really frustrated place. I'm very aware of it now that I have a little girl who watches me and mimics everything I do. Esp. when I get so mad that I throw the cereal box across the room or something--it just is 100% worse when my little mimic starts venting her own frustrations as poorly as I sometimes do. It was awful when she would get mad and start to literally pull her hair! Thankfully since I have been getting handle on myself she has stopped doing that.

I guess it is both good and bad how our own weaknesses become more visible in the light of our children's gazes!
