Jim was grumpy. He did not want to go to church because it was early and he wanted to sleep in. He did not want to show up early to prepare to bless the sacrament, even though that was his responsibility as a Priest this week. He also did not want to take the sacrament to the home bound members after church. He had a nap waiting for him. He found Isaiah confusing, so he was not excited about studying Isaiah in Sunday School.
