An Assessment

When I started this blog, I wanted to deal with my seemingly lack of forgiveness in four major areas:

l. My sister, Betty, and her curt dismissal of me after my being there for her for almost 7 months.
2. My ex-husband, Bill, who makes me angry just by showing up;
3. My former pastor, who tore up the church by his terrible conduct and made me believe that it had no basis in fact--which later came out;
4. The University and the way it failed to renew my contract after 37 years there.

I have made progress in all these areas but I have miles to go. I went to a reception that was held for her deceased husband and we had a good time together. Nothing was said about our schism and it won't be. I took the initiative to speak to my ex-husband and we had a drink and a talk together. It cleared the air for everyone including me.

I tried to call the assistant minister (who knew all about the women and the embezzling by the secretary) but he did not return my call. I put this situation on hold because he went on to another pastorate and I hope that he finds some kind of peace. I also hope that someone checks the financial books of the church.

I continue to have sessions with many people at the University. I still have not had occasion to run into the President. With financial problems looming, I am sure that I am the least of his problems. I was called today by the Senator to see if I wanted to be a Regent of the University. That might prove an impetus for the President to come see me. I leave that in the hands of coincidence.

Now I am going to sign off in this blog. I have felt its usefulness live within me.
