Okay. Thank you. I wasn't trying to argue with you. And I'm really sorry if that's what it seemed like. Just thought my perspective might have some kind of value. I agree you know more than me. Sorry again.

I'm the one who needs to be sorry. I was rude. I'm going through a hard time with this. So forgive me. Don't be afraid to share your views. (hug)

(hug) It's not your fault. I can't stop myself from sharing my thoughts sometimes. You have nothing to be sorry for. I hope things get better for you. Sending love and hugs your way.

I received a call from my pastor. We will be doing lunch tomorrow. I do not know what it is about. I am nervous. I'm hoping that my sister can come, but it is short notice. He wanted me to come to the church but I asked for a neutral site. Keep me in your thoughts, please.

Well, this was interesting. I had the meeting with my pastor, had a good lunch. I only wish the conversation was better.
It seems the church had a meeting and I was the topic. The body met and voted that I could come back. (That was nice that the people wanted me back) The elders were not happy with this so they added conditions. 5 pages of conditions.
Needless to say, I spoke to my sister and we agreed to move on. It's sad. But it's time.

If you've ever read Huck Finn you will recall Huck finding relief by tearing up his letter written to his aunt that would have allowed capture of his best friend Jim, an escaped black slave.
Huck states, If this is what being good to get to heaven is all about, I'd just as soon go to hell.
You are a good person Amanda. Bad things have happened to you, very bad things. You have good friends and you will live in glory.
Remember this, God gave us doctors and medicine to fight satan evil.
Thanks for helping me; Home-Alone Tom

Thank you Home-Alone for those very kind words. I am trying to be safe. It just isn't easy sometimes.
