We are enjoying our new Church.
We are slowly making some friends there. But I don’t know if it is in the best manner. Last night after prayers during the service, the Pastor always tells us to turn around and greet someone. Last night I met a guy named Bob. We talked briefly, and that was that. As the service went on, I developed some major gas. I didn’t evacuate any (fart) during the service, I have too much class for that. (Yeah, so I write about it here)
I managed to get through the service without any embarrassment. As Cheryl and I walked to get the Kids after service, I thought for a moment that I was alone, and so I decided it was time. So I cut loose. Cheryl turned and looked at me all wide eyed with a grin. It wasn’t more than a second later that I heard a voice behind me saying, “I heard that… Rick.”My face instantly went beet red. I turned, and there was Bob, grinning from ear to ear. “You ought to check and make sure no one is around first!”
Cheryl nearly fell over from laughing. I just wanted to crawl into a hole.
So, yeah, I’m making friends.
Marriage News
Cheryl came to talk to me last night. She says she is struggling. Not with wanting to stay married, but with forgiving herself. In a nutshell she is feeling a great deal of guilt about what has happened over the last 5 years. She wonders how I could ever forgive her for what has happened to us. I assured her that if it were an issue; I would have been gone long ago.
But we are talking. She is telling me. I am listening. This is the happiest I’ve been about our relationship in years. I’m very optimistic. This is the longest she has endured since our troubles started.
Later,
Rick
