We all like plucky, gutsy folks , but there does come a point...

I was quite shocked by an analysis I received yesterday. This well-intentioned person told me he was so dissappointed that I had,"given up on life."

I replied that I had not given up on life at all and had spent the last several years trying to stay alive.

He wanted me to go over and reclaim the church. I think the church ought to reclaim me.

As for me and my house--after spending years trying to make eveybody happy and never succeeding, I quit.

I wish I had seen the light sooner.

What would you do?

Ask him what is he doing with his life that is so great compared to you.

He is still toiling for the church. He has not seen the light yet.

Almost funny!

For years I couldn't see it either.

It took the church gobbling up half a million of my inheritance and then giving me the "opportunity" to donate two thousand more, lying to me and about me before I finally saw. People tried to warn me.

Helen,

Don't make me laugh--you have been there. You could give them your last penny in your coin purse, last dollar in your bank account and they would need more.

They won't even thank you--just beg for more. More money to molest your kids, etc...
