As most of you know, I was baptized a member of the LDS church a couple weeks ago. My son will become a member next weekend. As my wife wants nothing to do with church, i have made sure that she wasn't around during any of the discussions and do not bring up church stuff when she is around. I do my scripture reading at lunch or when she's not home. Even though she told me that she would not stand in my way, I guess that doesn't mean she will not take shots when ever she feels the need.

I guess my rant is based on how closed minded she and other people are. All of my family and friends have supported me with my decision and ask questions of me wanting to know more about our beliefs. They all quickly learn that we have much more in common than they thought. They are willing to put aside what they have "heard" about the church and trust in someone they have known all their lives. Why can't my wife of 17 years do the same? I know there is little i can do at this point other than to leave this in the hands of Heavenly Father and pray about it daily.
And when that spirit comes around avisiting; make sure ya let her know what it is.
