    Alan, I hope you don't mind, but I shared that article with my friend at 

church. She told me she shared it with the Pastors and they might share it 

with the congregation. They will decide next week.

Hi,

Like I said, I have a copy of this article. It appeared in the February,

1995 Braille Monitor. I can e-mail you a copy if you wish.

    Alan, where do I get that article?



Um, I've been slowly getting to know people. Not to get too personal, after

being seperated, I decided to check out a church and I liked it. My first

time was emotional, but I got through it. I was approached by a woman that

invited me to her home for lunch after church. We talked and I explained

some confusion I was having spiritually. Then one Sunday, a woman gave her

testimony and something she said drew me to meet her. I soon found myself in

her small group of divorced parents. I was looking to make friends with

different people. Later, she had announced an engagement. I was very happy

for her. We had a change in Pastors and during that time, I stopped

attending church. IDK why. January of this year is when I started going more

steadily. getting more acquainted with the Pastors, getting introduced to

more people, attempted a Bible Study, but couldn't follow along.



I have the music pastor send me the words to the songs that'll be sung in a

week's advance.



IDK what I can do. I guess hearing other's testimonies about going to

another country and helping medically or feeding the poor, supplying

blankets, pillows, etc just drives me nuts. I wish I knew what my gifts are



I write poetry if anyone is interested in reading...

Hi Nicki,



You might start by talking to some of the church members or the pastor's

wife. Explain your situation, and that you'd like to be involved. You can

learn names and pray for them; that would be a start.



Blessings,



Linda
