Last night I attended our church's women's group for the first time. I was invited when I did a BGLT workshop a few months back but took a while to work up the courage. My wife helped a lot, and insisted on going with me even though she was not feeling very well. I knew it was going to be fine when our hostess greeted me on her front porch with "It's great to see you, Wendy!"
There was lots of food, wine, and good talk. What was so amazing was that I was totally treated like one of the girls. Even though everyone who didn't already know my "secret identity" soon figured it out--I was there with my wife, after all!--no one seemed fazed or uncomfortable. Best of all, I was encouraged to keep coming! What a wonderful group of women, and what a loving wife! I feel truly blessed.
