Stiller than stone

I spent the day at my dad's place. My son stopped in for dinner, too. Mrs. Ray had said she would begin organizing her stuff while I was out. All well and good.

When I got home, Mrs. Ray was not there. I immediately went to the bedroom and began praying. Seems I do LOTS of that these days. About half an hour later, Mrs. Ray came back. We kinda sat at the table for a few minutes, then she looked at me and said "Want to go see a movie?" In my heart I thanked God for what seemed like progress. In the interests of marital fidelity, I refuse to record who first suggested that we go see Borat, but we did. Way more offensive than funny. We finally couldn't take any more about ¾ the way through, and left.

In my prayers I admit to God that I have no ability on my own to help our situation. Tonight I feel God told me (no, not the angels or words from on high) to invite Mrs. Ray to go to "our" church. More or less with me. Her support group is different from mine, so there would be no conflict of interest there. I don't need to tell people how far the divorce action has gone, but I will ask for prayer for our marriage. This would have the same effect without the big bombshell & special attention. I have asked the Holy Spirit to guide me in timing and the words to use to bring this idea up with Mrs. Ray.

In my heart now, I do feel a calm that things will turn out for the better in the end. But I admit still that it ain't over yet.
