Just a heads up on the flurry of activity here.
Beginning the last Sunday of September and continuing with the month of October, I have been super busy doing musical programs for churches and leading Bible studies.
As you know I have a part time ministry on the side. I sing, and thus, I do concerts for churches free of charge and on a love offering basis. I have never turned down a church due to their inability to pay. My last concert was very gratifying. The people were super-gracious and a joy to sing for. I love doing these things to the degree that I would do it full time if had the opportunity.
I also do Bible studies and fill in for ministers on Sundays and Wednesdays from time to time. That, too, is always gratifying.
When I get busy like this, I am unable to do what I normally do on this site. I am sorry about that.
In addition, discouragement sets in when it comes to politics. I am as troubled by what I see happening to our country as I have ever been. When Obama got reelected in November, I remember writing that I did not see how the nation could survive another four years. My view about that is that now we are in even worse shape...just within a few short months. I don't think we will make it four years if things do not change drastically.
So, I do my best to write and sound the alarm. But frankly, not many listen. When I see people turn a deaf ear to the truth, I get so distressed that I literally get sick. During those times I have to take a day or so to regroup.
Thanks for understanding, and thanks for your prayers during this time.

I know exactly what you mean, and what you're feeling. I often feel like just walking away from my blog, and the news, and just concentrating on life with my family.
Most days, I teeter on that edge.
Meanwhile, you're doing the fun part, the gravy part, of ministry. Enjoy!
Well, as you know Paul, I will vent and complain and talk about quitting, but I never do. I suppose I care too much about these things to quit. But dang, it is like banging my head against the wall to get people to really listen and understand.
