Sometimes I feel refreshed just breathing air shared with new people for a change. Not to mention new voices. New subjects. No one actively wanting anything from me. Especially not needing anything. Just a day of that can make a big break if I'm really stressed. But then after South Bend, you came home & helped Derrick quit. Ouch.

All I know is, "To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven." i just pray that this is--for some reason--time for Derrick to move on to a new purpose. So many times in my life this happened, & I couldn't sort it out till later. Maybe this time you ought to just wait a bit & see whether "someone" has a purpose. Maybe you won't have to do anything--maybe plans are already in the works.

Funny, i can almost always get that quote exact, but I'm never sure whether it's Proverbs or Ecclesiastes. My mind abandons hither & Thurber. Or something.
