To build a bridge from Tolle to Fowler…
Stage 3: Our group’s story versus everyone else’s story
Stage 4: Our new personal “true” story versus everyone else’s story
Stage 5: maybe different stories help different people
Brian, that is brilliant how you connected those dots…that really makes a lot of sense to me ( 💡 light bulb totally went off in my head). This helps my feeling that I can stayLDS and know that God is working with all His children in or out of the church. Further, He can be working on me in the church with my personal story which may vary with other members of my family or ward. In or out of the church, Stage 5 helps me feel its all good. I can move forward focusing on my situation…and there is so much that becomes less problematic with the Church and my own story.
What a great connection…thanks for your words!
