Bishop Ellison

Just a quick note tonight about Bishop John Ellison.  I enjoy him.  He is a good man and has a wonderful heart and testimony of Jesus Christ.  I am grateful to have him as my Bishop.  He grabbed me after sacrament meeting today and we sat down for a little chat.  He talked about my spiritual progression and counseled me that I need to be searching for a wife.  He talked about the time I spend with my kids and how finding someone, though it will cut back on my time with the kids, will share the load and will provide the kids with additional time and attention from whoever that person is.  He also said, and I appreciate this, that just because someone is single and I am single doesn't mean that we are a fit, that if I don't, I am trying to remember how he said it... basically if I don't feel drawn to someone that I don't need to pursue it.  That isn't the phrase he used, I wish I could clearly remember it, it wasn't something that I have heard a lot.  Anyhow, it was a good conversation and didn't leave me feeling too awkward.  I suppose I have work to do.  I guess I should start praying for a little less anxiety when it comes to the dating scene...
