BI,

Was that your post on the blog? If so, it's a real compassionate understanding of your husband.

It's almost like I wish I could talk to him, or email him and talk to him about grace. I'm good at helping people see it. I'm almost unable to recieve it myself these days. Funny how we can use a gift for others, but can't use it for ourselves.

Anyhow, throw a prayer up for me. I need to feel God's love and grace so that I can be full in Christ and therefore be less judgmental. I want to invite my wife into a full life with me, not indict her for her shortcomings.

It's clear that when I'm doing OK, I'm more buoyant and able to listen to her. When I'm positive and joyful, she's less prone to "run screaming" from me. I'm just trying to open my heart and attract her.

Please, please, please pray for me.
