I THIIINK this is an okay section to post this in, so here goes.
I have been moving away from Android from being a hobby. When I got gravely ill back on 3/28 it had the effect of changing my time-priorities. With less years in front of me than behind, I wanted to re-tool, as it were.
As some of you, who remember me, may recall, I am an ordained minister. So.. after a long time, I had the opportunity to preach again, at a nursing home, having been sent by my church, and I loved it. I spoke about relationship with God. "If you give Him your "now" he will give you Himself."
One lady said, "you're making me cry". I told her I'd stop, she told me not to, to speak on. Another woman, out of the blue said, "I guess I need to forgive my husband"... I then spoke about forgiveness. The final thing that happened that really touched me was that a man who who was unable to form sentences due to a stroke (he could think them but they didn't come out), just struggled to talk to me, but couldn't. He just kissed my hand. I was humbled.
Finally, I have signed up to volunteer as a minister to visit the sick at my hospital. I am looking forward to that. I may not be serving you all, here, but I'm serving a people face to face. That makes me feel as if I am doing something positive with my remaining years. Let's see how it goes.
Oh yeah, I bought a new car. I got a golf tdi. (Diesel). I love the VW tech experience.
))))
Well that's it for now. Be well! God bless you guys!)
Yours,
Steven

. They said they're excited to have me on volunteer staff, as Rev. Steven. Please don't tell them the havoc I could wreak.
