One man's journey to find the way home
          I am an American Baptist ordained minister. I began my life journey in Massachusetts, where I was called to help people understand what it meant to know a loving God. The call came during a time when I was wrestling with how to help my brother Kurt, who was diagnosed with Schizophrenia during my high school years. I was a new Christian by my senior year following trying to understand what it meant for me to care about a person like my brother who others tended to stay away from.
          After twenty three years in Massachusetts, God sent me to the land of Kansas City where I spent about 35 years of my life. I was a pastor, a resident chaplain, a supervisor in training and most recently a caregiver and security. Everything I have done vocationally has been with God in mind. That does not mean that I am totally comfortable with all the movings of the Spirit.
          I am now in Erie where I do not know very many people. I came here because of my wife. She is from Erie and coming here was the right thing to do. It just plain made sense. My kids had grown up. I did not like Kansas city in terms of climate and was looking forward to a change. I had become very frustrated vocationally and longed to come to Erie to get a second opinion, because I honestly believed that was what God had wanted for me. I left behind kids and grandkids who I loved!!!! I had two jobs that I enjoyed. They were both very appreciative of my skills and I was making more money with the two jobs than I ever had. I heard more than once. ARE YOU CRAZY?
          Well I can only say that I am in love with God's leading. I am starting all over again. It has not been easy. Maybe some of you can offer me some words of support. I am lonely despite the fact my wife is with me. She battles depression and has two siblings that are having similar battles. When it is all said I am in a depressed community with a depressed wife and her family. So I begin the conversation....
WELCOME!!

I made it to one million steps.i am a bit burnt out by the idea of all the steps I have taken. I still have at least 8 miles to smash my record. I am just not motivated. Finances are ok. I am put in a position of starting over. God give me strength.

Off I go to another workshop on how to be safe. It ought to be interesting. Then I have a couple days to recover before I work 3 days. Good luck to that! If God is for me who can be against me and today I will look at the annuity stuff. Yes I am tired. Keep the calendar in front of me . Three other issues: I'd for Sharon, schedule mammogram and river of life. I don't know about the magic jack. Oh well live and learn.

I pray I make right decisions today. I feel a bit out of sorts. Hey, I got my hour that I wanted for work. I even was able to get invited to KC. But I need to figure out my schedule sooner and not later if I want to go. There are only three pay checks to the end of the year.

More tired, I am staying honest. I have three weeks of wondering what comes next. I pray I make good choices. I am fatigued make no mistake about it. I will get to Friday and then look at a couple weekends. I am looking at 50 plus if I stay the course. I will then have four weeks. And Tim does want to see me in December. So I will act accordingly. God give me wisdom and strength.

No money that is the theme of the last two days. It is past frustrating. How could this happen to me anyway. I feel so tired. Is there an end? God give me the grace to see it thru.

Yeah I am working and yet nothappyasisee otherslounginf and visiting as if there's no work to do, basically getting paid to do little or nothing. It has been a rough day anyway. My time card was messed up and I was left wondering if I would get paid. Top it offan investigation took place while working Walbridge. It was irritating even if I was not involved.

I experience my own grief of dealing with my shameas a young adult. When does or does it ever end?

My foot is killing me and that is no lie. I will get no sleep. It is a biting needle like pain that is on and off for five or ten minutes at a time. It could be I am over tired or overworked. Help me God to seek your face in the midst of it all.
