oh, how heart-breaking to read some of these posts, especially from the very ones that we have come
to Love so very much, and also, because we know that Jesus has given us the strength to
'OVER-COME' at our own-given-time' in our own 'life-time', and that He has 'put them-into-our-lives
to connect as He has ordained, and we must adhere to and obey and lovingly welcome
His Ways, totally denying our 'old-man', and 'willingly-desiring, to put and become the NEW'!!!...,
else, ALL is Lost and in VAIN!!! 'read/see and weep'...

I’m addicted to school. I know some of you are looking at my age, and thinking ”What???” But it is true.
Every time I finish a degree, I sing “School’s out forever!” And then, it just sucks me back in for another diploma or degree. It costs a lot of money, it demands all my time. I just took German -2nd year college, and it was “in class” rather than “on line.” So, I lost marks, if I missed a class. Other than to see family at Christmas, we did nothing this winter. We are retired, and I kept telling my husband, “no, no, I can’t miss a class.” He kept begging me to travel to warm places, as I flipped word cards at the kitchen table.
School is just an excuse to buy books and write essays. And learn languages, theology, science and philosophy. I have tried to give it up, but the addiction goes deep.
And now, I have registered for another degree. Aghh! It never ends. The school ball and chain. I wonder if some day, it will take my life?? Well, tomorrow is my German final, pray for me to be able to write it. And that, I can just relax for a day or two, before I pick up a summer course. I am a prisoner! Help!!!

I'm already planning a vacation where it's just me, my car, my bike, a bedroll, and a few changes of clothes.
Gotta get out to Colorado again. Best trails in the US.
