Yes, one day at a time has been the watchword for a long time Kathy. Preacher has been talking to me about getting ordained now that my troubles are behind me and perhaps taking over the youth ministry. It's something I'd like to do since I'm already working with the 10 and 11 year-olds in Master Club. Our church runs a 400 acre church camp in Lavalette, West Virginia called Camp Jerri. Other churches pay to use the facilities throughout the summer which helps to support the place. There's a chapel, 12 cabins that sleep up to eight, a rec hall/gym and kitchen, a snack bar and game room, a swimming pool and this year we are trying to get permission for a shooting range where the kids can learn gun skills and safety from certified instructors. There's a two story log cabin on the property for a proprietor which is currently vacant and I may be sent there soon, especially if I sell the house to pay my legal bills.

I'm finding it really hard to just shift gears and fall back into life. I've still got a lot of battles on the horizon and I just don't know what's in the grand plan. An old beloved band mate has recently contacted me and he's headed to the Mao Clinic soon to have his back fused again and if all goes well he's seriously contemplating picking up his guitar again and going on the road. If it happens, he wants me with him kicking the cannons. I see that I'm going to be making some life changing decisions no matter what happens, but the Lord got me this far and I can't give up now after winning every battle.

I spent most of last week just catching up on sleep, contacting folks with news and recharging for the next chapter. I plan to adopt a kitty or puppy soon to keep me company now that I have a future again, but just that small expense is more than I want to embrace right away. There's just so many possibilities suddenly on my table that I seem paralyzed of making the right decisions and I think I'm still in shock because I spent so many years preparing for the worst. One day at a time indeed.
