This seems as good a place as any for most of the people I've bantered with, laughed, sometimes insulted -- all in "good clean fun" if you can believe that, please -- to be sure they read it.
My life is getting very busy. Between school, work, church, etc., I've been pretty busy anyway. But now I have a new contract with the Missouri Department of Corrections counseling parolees from the western side of the state in addictions recovery and family relations. It's going to be quite interesting, even stimulating, and I hope to get some research out of it as well.
Bottom line is, my time on here is going to be sharply curtailed. I'll be around some, but not nearly as much as I have been since joining back in December. Keep us (my wife in I) in your prayers as we move through life, enjoying it and one another immensely. We've got a lot of "little projects" planned, including planting a small vineyard.
That will keep her busy, as whe is ready to retire after 40+ years as a NICU nurse -- and I'm ready for her to retire. She comes home spent physically and emotionally after just about every shift. I want to see her enjoy herself more, and I want to dedicate more time to service work for the Christian community. There are many problems facing church families today, not the least of which, unfortunately, are addictions and marital issues, things that are "right up my alley" in which to help and counsel.
So, if you don't see me around quite as much, that's why. I enjoy coming on here for a time every now and then, and that will continue -- it's almost therapy for me. But just not as much time from now on, as I won't have it.
God bless y'all, keep fighting the good fight, live in Christ, love God, love others -- and laugh at yourselves every now and then. It's good therapy.
