I'm reading more and more at the various blogs and discussions boards I visit that families are opting to do home church instead of attending Sunday School and/or church service. Count me in that category now as well. Today was just the final straw. Maybe I expect too much of people, after all we are all sinners, but I do expect better of Christians and every church we attend disappoints me. People aren't friendly, ds1 always ends up being treated poorly, there are cliques that I am so obviously not a part of nor welcome to be a part of (not that I would want to be), and the members as a whole just do not live up to what the church preaches. Dh had had enough long ago and wasn't attending with ds1 and me. Now the two of us are coming home for church. Ds1 is adamant after this morning that he has no desire to go again. I feel sorry for him in that it was his main chance to be around other kids. He made a really good friend there (a private schooler). There are no kids living around us and the few times we get together with other homeschoolers usually results in my family being ignored and shunned. Oh well.
So, we're embarking on another new adventure.
