Well as we say down in Illinois, we got down to the short rows. Here is the bottom line. I am bent but not broken and it appears that the I will not be put in a situation where I am at risk. They want me to form a company to generate the rest of the deficit. You always look for reasons for this, why me, what did I do? Well I did some stupid things trying to help the company and it bounced back to hurt me. But: 1. I have my health. 2. I have some resources left. 3. I have a wife who loves me through all this. 5. I have friends in the US who like me, respect me, and will try to help me. 6. I can survive for a few months before I get nervous. 7. I am establishing great contacts in Mexico. Now I just have to pray to get over my anger against the whole country. 8. I have Elders that support me and pray for me (I offered to resign last night, I dont want to embarras the church). 9. I have friends who love me and pray for me. 10. I have my kids. At 50 I really can't change jobs yet. Maybe in a year when this gets cleared up. But I would feel so liberated to get this on the path to closure. I really appreciate your support, prayers, and love. My final take away. I was too much in love with money. I was always worried about keeping it, protecting it, etc. And I think God said," who are you going to trust, your money or me?" I have new goals to trust more, laugh more, not worry about the future. I had thought to have a nice retirement, fish alot on a nice boat, maybe fish saltwater tournaments, now, if I just have Ruth and the kids, I will be the happiest guy in world. And I have learned alot of new scripture, for me the best being Psalm 118:5,6 In my anguish I cried to the Lord, and he rescued me by setting me free. The Lord is with me, I will not be afraid. What can man do to me? More later, just please continue to prayer for successful termination of everything next week. And thanks for your great examples...who I am is a reflection of you. Love Tim
