Wow... finally back in here! I've had problems logging in...
Anyway...
Brian and I are going to try to make a go of things. He did some things, but he has been very humble, and I feel he deserves another opportunity. Gosh, we have all been give many "second chances."
Also, I have scaled back my work hours by one day (6 hours) and kept benefits. I am now in almost constant pain from neuropathy, and have been very fatigued. This and some other things have added to some depression.
I have submitted my resume' to a local agency looking for mentors to help with those in independent living situations. I understand the money is excellent, the clients and hours are all up to me, and I would be self-employed. Things at work are really getting boggy, and I think this opportunity is worth looking into.
Here is a good note. I recieved an email on MySpace from an underclassman from my Zion days. He wanted to contact me with some questions. When I saw this, I'm thinking... condemnation! No way, it didn't turn out this way at all!
He has adopted children with AIDS and other physical/mental disabilities, has a lesbian daughter, lost a child to AIDS, is pastoring an affirming church in a conservative fellowship.
We have spent many hours conversing, and get this, he hit me with something tonight... "When would you like for us to extend ordination to you?"
Yes, I have credentials, but this is from a local church (in MA, not here near me), and affirming. They are 115 years old and still hold ordination rights even though part of a fellowship that also credentials.
It looks like I will take part in their annual (or one of them) conference!
Well, I just wanted to share...
Again, keep all of these things in your prayers. I am also changing primary care doctors so that I can go to a practice that is a little less hectic. I had him as a doc before I was insured at work, and I inquired... he is in the network. If I go out on my own, and cannot afford insurance, they take payment on a scale.
Thanks every1...
Tim

Oh... I am also thinking of taking some inter-faith type courses, and may even go for my doctorate in Holistic Theology/Divinity.

It sounds like things are quite busy for you, buddy. I'll keep those things in my prayers, and I'm wishing you nothing but the best in all of your endeavours. God bless, my friend. *Christian Hugs* Darrel

Thank you for blessing RevTim in such a GREAT WAY! You truly are a God of miracles. Continue to do so as he is now going to be ordained AND try to get a doctorate. Help him to grow in your word and love. Bless him with healing as he faces constant pain. And thank you for restoring the relationship he has with Brian. Let him be prosperous in everything that he does for you. For in Jesus' name, I pray. Amen.
On a positive note, I have an interview Thursday for the independent living/mentoring position on Thursday. The conference plans are coming together as well and will be held in the fall... AND things are going great with Brian and I!
