Thanks to all of you for your kind words.

This has been a rather rough week. Some parents from this group seem bent
on keeping me busy, busy, busy.

This is, I was told, part of a plan to sabotage right from the start.

Someone close to me just let me know of her life being in danger due to
illness. As I thought about it, I thought about the story of "complaining
I had no shoes until I met a person who had no feet." There really is
always someone worse off than me.

So far, I am still "hanging in," and trying to remain my professional and
ministerial self. I must admit, however, that, at home, I let it
out...some journaling...some "spewing forth" (not swearing or anything
like that...) the frustration I have. I must confess to thinking those
words, though. Same difference....

One of my pet peeve's since my early days...I can remember even in first
grade...defending others against mean kids. The very thing that hurts
people (meanness) has now been turned against me. It's been
disillusioning and hurtful. I have felt it a couple times throughout my
life, but this has reached a new low.

Your words have helped because, though I've thought my faith to be
strong, this has shaken me. I have felt alone through this. You have
reached out to me as God's messengers and touched my heart.
Messengers=angels....Thank you.
