My ward is way too young. We have 2 folks in the 80's and are unable to take callings. Just getting to church with help is a big deal.

So this week was the first time I have been in the new Elders (+HP) quorum meeting. Being a holiday weekend in the US about 1/2 the ward...

I too have had that peace after the dark night of the soul. It is a great relief. I am familiar with Fowlers stages of faith and your comment made me ask the question: Have I moved into the fifth stage? I guess time will tell.

I too have had that peace after the dark night of the soul. It is a great relief. It lasted for a while, then I decided I need to take a different path than you are choosing.
