I'm running late today, Scott, but I just wanted to let you know that the real 
Bride of Christ is my own local group that meets here, in my home.

(I know, I have a sick sense of humor.)

Anyway, I very much appreciated the things you shared here in your post.  I 
know lots of us who can identify with your experiences, in many ways.  But God 
is so very good to us all, not waiting until we are wise and perfect to pour 
out His blessings and grace.

Thanks for sharing your story.

Jim
