It just passed one full year since I have attended a Sunday meeting in an LDS chapel. My wife and family have one by one left as well. For several months after I left my wife still attended weekly. I did my best to respect her, support her and give her the space to come to her own decisions, especially since she was so patient with me.
Anyway, I guess it was about six months ago she bumped into the bishop in the hall. I think they were discussing a calling or something, but he firmly told her that, “It is time for you to get off the fence.” I am so grateful that he said that. Now she spends her Sundays with me. We give blood together. We go walk the dog together and we sit in the living room reading and taking it easy, together.
I want to send a thank you letter to the bishop and give him a little bit of advice. “Bishop, In my experience, when somebody gets pushed off of a fence they typically end up on the other side of the fence from whoever was doing the pushing.”
