My mind is not able to comprehend something. My sister is going through a hellish time with her one and only daughter-in-law. And if I could wish for something and have it happen I would wish that this girl would see into her future as to the terrible lonliness she will have some day because of her constant outbursts of hate she thwarts at people in her life. I believe in prayer, I believe we must give it all to God - the hurt, anger, deceit we find in others, whatever is working against us we must give it to God. I will give it to God again and again. As long as I live and breath I must do this. He sustains us and gives us His Peace. Thank you, Jesus. My redeemer and friend. The One who knows me better that I know myself.
Press on... one day at a time.

IT REALLY HAPPENED - Or was it a bad dream?
Pastor Mahan is now officially retired. And I am reeling in emotions right now. This is the "day after". Tears were held back yesterday - it was a very emotionally draining day. It was bittersweet and am so glad I got to be a part of the whole process of the party we threw for him. He is someone who I will NEVER- EVER- NOT- EVER forget. For ten years he was our leader, friend, confidant, whatever his people needed he became. How do you let someone like that go? Emotionally that is? I'm still trying to figure out what my life will be like not seeing him on Sundays ever again. Am I pining? Yes, I guess I am. He was a big brother to me. He was like a special friend. He was like... like... everything a person needs to become a better person. Hang on... I'm trying to... I'm not sure how... I'm trying to... I'll be ok. Eventually... I'm always ok, eventually.
May God richly bless his life, his marriage, his new home, his new friends, his boat...
So be it.
