Ok---so on Monday I picked my life back up and it was supposed to be all fun from here on out! Laughing, playing with my kids, walks with my wife just the normal perfect fun life kind of stuff. That is till I started talking to people again. This week I have spoken with numerous friends who have lost their jobs and are moving, losing their homes, having emotional breakdowns or some/all of the above. Another good friend was diagnosed with a life long disease and to top it all off I took a look at our bank account and 401 K. I seem to have lost the fun vibe and feel a bit weighed down with all the struggles that seem to be going on with many close friends. For me it is worse when there is nothing I can do to solve the problem, but only offer to pray for them and then watch them endure and survive. UGH! It is a bit hard to be friviolous with life and shallow at times like this.
I need to think about what my family and I can do........

You have a point there...We have been feeling the same way. WE finally feel like we can do a few things but when we look around at what some of our friends are going through...we pull back. I don't know that they would do the same for us though...hum. It's hard to feel like our little bits of service are sufficient right now but I guess it all counts.
Hey send me your dissertation. I want to read it and become more enlightened from your wisdom!! :)
Welcome back to the blogging life!
