You wonder how my wife feels? Well, she's saddened to not be growing old with a "man of God." I'm truly sorry to disappoint her in that. But I'm sure she's praying for me, that I'll "come back to the fold." I don't see that happening, but she's welcome to pray. Never hurts!!
In the meantime she's making the best of it. She'd rather be in the ministry, but she's taking it as philosophically (or theologically) as she can. I admire her for that.
Sorry to hear about your run-in with the Guild of Fundamentalist Nurses. I can imagine how frustrating, and maddening, that must have been. Well, I was once there myself, so I have to be patient with those folks...even though I may feel like kicking their born-again butts!!
Take care! Poincicco
