The problem may be bigger than we realize

I share a couple of things people said to me yesterday. 

Two secondary school boys witnessed a big church event (to the C of E not as you will see to the assembled throng) in their school and thought it was: 

"The most boring thing we have ever had to do at school"

Later in the day, a man who has started coming to our church was telling his friend of his church-going

Here is his friend's reply:

"Gosh, do people really still go to church?"

Oh dear me.

The task may be even larger than I imagined

I think it really means that Maths is not as boring as it was when we were at school. . . and that Sunday car boot sales are beginning to lose some of their appeal.
The task is not as large as you imagine!

Has Maths ever not been boring! I speak as one who spent many an hour looking out of the window.

That's why stained glass was invented - to stop the congregation looking out the window!
