Leaving this church was the right thing to do. Certainly we will miss friends we made there. But, already it is like a huge weight has been lifted from our shoulders. I can see the rise in Karol's spirits already. I can even concentrate better at work. I expect we will be the only ones to leave. Friends that are also unhappy with the board's decision are likely to stay. I think they've been there too long to leave. There is a strong social bond that keeps people there.
But, I remind myself, a church is not meant to be a social club.
Already Karol has two other churches lined up to visit over the next two weeks. It is amazing how much pain we will put up with because we've grown used to it.
