Stepping Down
“These meetings with the ministers and auxiliary boards and volunteers and whoever else needed her husband’s ear were ridiculous. Sure, Sharla had her share of appointments with the ministers’ wives and the Mother’s Board, but they hadn’t taken over her life. Somehow, women knew to back down when another woman said, “My child has a fever.”

She whispered to the Lord, “Please help me not to go off on my husband tonight.” It was Sunday, after all.
Well, if she couldn’t put on a happy face for Mark, she could at least put on one for Amani. At the sound of shoes on the kitchen tile, Sharla twisted her body toward the entry. “Hey.”
“Hey,”
Mark barely responded.
She could tell the meeting had not been completely pleasant by the wrinkles in his forehead.MoreLess
