Christmas has come and gone. I think I almost missed it. I spent the night at my son's house as did Stacia and GG. It was lots of fun--family dinner, Christmas Church Service, getting ready for Santa. Watching the kids open their presents in the morning was great too. Then I come home, and I'm all alone. It's been raining for days. It's dark in the house. Nothing on TV. It feels like death around here. My son and the family are off on their boat sailing to Bimini. I have too much time to think. I have come to a decision. I will give myself 5 years. Then I will move to Belize. I've been doing some research on the subject. You can live pretty cheaply there. It's a beautiful place--nice and warm. I will need to go down there and travel around to see what area I like. But I think I'll like it alot. I'm pretty excited about this. I wish there was someone to share it with, but you never know. Maybe that could still be in the cards. It'd have to be someone as crazy as me.

MISSING IN ACTION

I thought I had better check in with you guys. I'm on the mend-SLOWLY but surely. I've been going to physical therapy where they're trying to get my foot to bend. I still have another month of no weightbearing. In the meantime, I've been watching lots of movies, reading, studying Korean and generally messing around on my laptop. My dogs don't get it. Mom's around alot more, but she's not doing much ball playing. I'm missing all the Christmas crowds. Maybe in some ways this economy will get us back to basics, and we can remember what Christmas is all about. With that I will close:

Be kind to others, honor your family, and pay it forward to those in need.

MERRY CHRISTMAS

SERVING THE LORD IN ATLANTA

I was checking out my church blog this morning (www.buckheadchurch.org) and saw all the wonderful things our church community have been doing this Christmas season and was overwhelmed with pride and joy! I have not been able to participate in any of these things due to my broken ankle, and I realized how much I've missed this holiday season. It's ironic that I have been searching for different ways to participate in glorifying God's name in ways that help those in need, and I find myself the needy one. So many things are put on hold in my life, and I have no idea where God is leading me. I guess I was taking too much control. So I have been forced to back off and watch. I want to say that I am so proud and honored to be a member of Buckhead Church and their continuous outreach to serve the Lord and help those in need in Atlanta and around the world.

A SECOND CAN CHANGE YOUR LIFE

OH BOY!! What a week this has been. Your life can certainly change in a second. Dec. 2 I went to collect my mail after getting home from work, and I slipped and fell with my foot twisted underneath my body. I blew out my ankles, compound fracture, smashed foot! I had to crawl back to the house, into to the kitchen and called 911 from my cell from the kitchen floor. I had surgery the next morning and am now recouporating at home. I won't get a cast for about 3 weeks (after wounds heal and sutures are removed) Then 6 weeks in a cast and physical therapy. Well, guess what this does to my plans to leave after Christmas. LIMBO! I got a call from the Director of the Kunsan Christian School in Korea to see if all was set to leave . As it works out, he can get another teacher in for January 5th, and there is another opening in May. So we'll see how this goes. I'm not sure what I'll do for a job for the next few months though.
I am again reminded that I am NOT the one in control. I guess God has an objection for me leaving at this time. I'll just have to wait and see what unfolds.
