We belong to The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. We love it. One of the things we have been counseled to do is to hold a weekly Family Home Evening. Monday evenings are set aside for this purpose. It can be a wonderful time together as a family and it can also provide an experience that must be similar in nature to walking through the very depths of hell. It is a journey worth taking. It is time together as a family and a fantastic oppotunity to teach the gospel and inspire rigtheousness. As I alluded to, it can be a painful experience and there are times when you wonder why you are even bothering with it. Well, we press forward doing what we have been asked to do and though there are some tough challenges that come our way we know that the Lord will see us through.
Sometimes we simply have a ball as we learn from one another. Such was the case tonight as Jack wanted to take charge of the activity. His activity - drag racing hot wheels. He came up with it and decided it needed to happen so that is what we did. We each picked out two cars and then we raced them against each other to find a winner. I ended up winning. Beginners luck I think. We had a good time.
As Jack was participating I asked him to say the opening prayer. He did so and prayed that we would have a good Family Home Experiment. I kind of chuckled to myself and thought it an appropriate title.
