The Bible NETWork ~ Impacting the World for Christ one post at a time!

If I could post this is 'low priority' I would!

'Just to give you a quick update.
Right now there doesn't seem to be any prospect of my having money to pay January's rent - which of course now means literally all $345 of it.
My church will have a couple more weeks in the same building. So that's a blessing of a 'lease on life' during which God can still work a miracle!
The pastor's on will be deployed to Iraq early next month.
And my severe emotional woundedness, enfeebledness-of-the-psyche as I call it, ill-adustment to life, certainly at least to me seems as bad as ever. I remain a "difficult" person who experiences a trial at every turn.
"But" as the Apostle Paul was inspired to write, But Our dear loving Heavenly Father, and the dear Lord Jesus, and the dear Holy Spirit remain as worthy as ever of glory and honor. As the group "4 HIM" sings in a lyric "Unto the One Who sits on the Throne and unto the Lamb be all blessing and honor, glory and honor and praise!"

Thanks for reading.

Have you attempted to find gainful employment? being in Philly there are hundreds of places where they are always hiring....so let us know how the job search is going.

Quick update for you folks. May it be a blessing to each of you!
I hope that all of you have already been enjoying a blessed Christmas Season.

My church home...congregation...don't know exactly how to put it, but God in His immense and majestic providence and sovereignty has granted this fellowship no fewer than an additional two weeks in the building.

My pastor's son arrived in Kuwait on Friday.

And I...well, I give myself another 9 months before I leave this life, as I put it. Those of you who've been reading this know of my health conditions. On top of which each day is an emotional struggle, I remain out of sync with life...with reality, in some sense, and psychically enfeebled as I term it, very poorly 'adjusted,' and to a great degree psychologically disabled. As a result of which, given how young my Dad died and to what both he and my Mom succumbed, and given how I definitely seem to catch an affliction when especially stressed, it makes sense to me to say nine months, no more no less.

It's only due to our Father's lovingkindness that I remain a viable organism at all.

Thank you all for your prayers.
God Bless You All!
May each day bring us each to know the Lord Jesus more nearly and dearly; we're being made like Him!

Rich

Thank you for giving us an update, Rich. May the Lord continue to bless you with his love, his peace, his joy, and his strength that you may stay strong in him even as you wrestle with emotional and physical challenges. You are precious to him!

Hey Rich,
It's me, Serendipity.

What you want is someone from your church (if you have to do it alone do it) go to free mental health and see about social services housing and stipend. There is a long wait if you go the governmental route but it may be in your interest to do so. Yes, I understand your concerns about being kidnapped by the system but you are probably over paranoid at this point.... If you don't have money or insurance, there is little incentive to kidnap for money. Listen, you have to talk to someone about this and I would start with your church first. If you lived here I would visit you in person.

I will say a prayer for you as requested.
Regards,
S
