Nice words from people including Dona Henderson, Margaret Boggs, Chuck Heron, Sandra, Tom and Lynne (to name a few).
Also felt a connection to someone that I believe goes to Al-anon. I don't know name, but he has a mustache and sometimes wears a hat. He was very supportive of me almost on almost a daily basis. In fact, I think he knew me by name, but I didn't know his, and I don't think he goes to Sunday service (I found that quite interesting). He appreciated how much work I was doing, and offered to help if I got tired. In fact, we started talking and found out he drove a cab in Kingston where I grew up. We determined the wealthy owner, Mark Greenwood, was someone that was in my grade 5 class! I want to show him a picture for verification... Too bad many people are afraid to volunteer. If you keep an open-mind, you will be rewarded beyond your wildest dreams. You just have to keep the "nose to the grindstone", and not expect it to come right away - it will come to you... I guess that ties in the act of faith - a practical application perhaps... I've gotten to become close friends with Earl Williams and his family. I'm certain a lot about learning about a person is when working with them. We had lots of time to do that when working on the computer lab. Also, although I though I was pretty handy, when you learn to listen, you can learn so much from professionals, or people with more experience. I had always thought that I could volunteer with "Habitat for Humanity" to learn more building skills. Although this is still a great endeavor, I only need to look to Westminster to gain many of those skills! Again, it came to me in time...
