It has been forever (it seems) since I’ve landed on my own website… considered sabotage, defeat and / or outright neglect by many if not most. It hasn’t been a deliberate attempt I’ll assure you! One thing I’ve learned – GIVE when things seem tough. Things WILL come back to you! That is why I’m GIVING away copies of When I Was a Little Boy, by Jesus with every single book order – through December 31, 2011.
Since July I’ve been fighting an unfair charge of over $8,000 by my local hospital. Unfortunately, I have done all I can do (four appeal letters, hours and hours on the phone with the insurance company, the billing administration and claims adjustors…) and now realize that I am only one small David who tried to fight an army of Goliaths. It isn’t fair (for many reasons) and the full-time job it became cost me much more than the payments I’ll now be making for some time…
Home schooling Tanner since August has had it’s ups and downs – like any new adventure would. He and I have embraced this new challenge with vigor and it has been a learning experience.He has learned a lot and I have honestly enjoyed teaching him how to create Excel spread sheets, Power Point programs, Word docs and much more. This has, of course, become a full-time job as well!
Unfortunately, the online program being used by the school (new to them this year) has had more than it’s share of technical difficulties. I am on a first-name basis with many of the tech support staff. They are trying their best to make things work I believe. I feel for them – honestly I do – but it doesn’t seem fair to put the students, teachers and parents through this kind of learning curve. When it takes an extra 2 – 3 hours at least once a week to trouble-shoot issues and re-submit assignments that were received blank (just to mention a few recent concerns) the student tends to loose their momentum… Parents tend to loose their patience - but that’s another story!
Funny how two full-time jobs can feel like they’re taking up at least 15 hours a day and cause you loose sight of everything else. Writing – one of my favorite ways of expressing myself – has been sporadic and I apologize for that. Writers block happens to many at this time of year when we are overwhelmed by a gazillion demands.
Somehow everything does and will come together. Taking a deep breath and focusing on FAITH, LOVE and HOPE will result in POWERFUL strength coming to each of us as we need it. I’m reading The Power by Rhonda Byrne. The words are incredibly amazing and keeping my thoughts and focus ‘in check’. Just when I think that I’m dealing with entirely TOO MUCH I pick up this book and read… and realize that ALL is well.
Don’t forget – through the end of the year – with EVERY book you purchase I will add in (TOTALLY FREE) a copy of When I Was a Little Boy, by Jesus to your order – while supplies last!
Be blessed today and everyday. As always, your thoughts and comments are welcomed.
