Yes, you saw it right. No longer in Oregon.

Wow I missed a lot. Are you still making stain glass ashtrays? Smiles I think florida is a great place to sell your creations. All my best to you and I hope what ever you end up doing it's an adventure.

Sorry to hear about all of the changes. And not sure why you went to Florida - they have a pretty high unemployment rate as well.

Good luck with your move! I hope you find what you're looking for.

I don't know what to say Roger, man that is some big time life changes.

Um, yeah, no shit. As gg said, I hope you find whatever it is you're looking for.

yes as far as searching for anything.... i just need a break from ministry and the life I had before. I succumbed to the high burnout rate that comes with the profession. I guess I should have taken an extended sabbatical instead but i was realizing that I was not making the cut for our area. With so few people and overwhelming expenses it became a nightmare of epic proportions for me. Well anyway, thank you for your words of concern everyone. I keep you all informed of any other changes along the way.

Always remember Roger - You're never given more than you can handle. I'm currently learning that painful lesson as well. So far - I've been amazed at the many blessings that have come from it.

Hang in there - and keep the faith!
