Why is church the place I feel the most invisible? I was seriously fine today, even with all the extra whining Aurora did due to her cold and/or teething, until I went to Relief Society. Shouldn't we be extra aware of the need to be Christ-like and reach out when we are in the Lord's house. As I smiled and said hi many ladies were closed off and barely responsive. I started to feel like there was something wrong with me. Brady and I both felt this way at the ward Halloween party. This is really concerning to me because this is not the first ward I have felt like this in. In fact, besides this ward all of the others I have gotten this cold feeling from were in Utah, Mormon Central. I have not found any trouble making conversation with women in MOPS, which is also a Christian based group. I don't have any trouble getting a smile back when I take Aurora to Gymboree classes. So what is the deal? I may be preaching to the the entirely wrong crowd because I know that the regular readers of my blog do not have a problem reaching out to others. You have all been very kind to me. I am just dumbfounded as to how many members in our church can consider themselves disciples of Christ while they give off the cold shoulder.
