The Other Side Of Darkness (2010) - Plot & Excerpts
With a tight, painful lump in my throat I get up and, wrapping myself in the blanket, go off in search of my own bed. I’m surprised that the lights are off in the house, that it’s 2:47 a.m., and that Rick has already come home and gone to bed. Completely oblivious to his family’s plight on this blackest of black nights, my husband is contentedly snoring. I know it’s unreasonable, not to mention un-Christlike, but I have the strongest urge to beat the living daylights out of him right now. Still, I control myself, standing there next to the bed with fists clenched in rage. I tell myself to just let this go, slip into bed, and continue to travail for the Lord’s protection on my seemingly defenseless family. But I cannot do it. I cannot force myself to get into bed and to lie next to that man. In so many ways he seems a large part of our problem. It’s because of him that we are so vulnerable right now. I’ve heard that when the head of the family slacks off, becoming spiritually lazy in the way that Rick has these past few years, it’s as if the family is left wide open.
