I have not attended your church, although I am certainly tempted to ! I spoke with Rev Ritchie Tues about needing emotional help, and he handed me a card with phone number, and what was supposed to be the email address.. I try RLR792@aol.com and could not hook up. I called the church phone number, and did not hear to leave a message after the tone. I feel left out of life, and the stress seems I am taking on life by myself. This is another Sat night in my bedroom, at Health and Rehab, by myself and unable to change anything. Life seems to have passed me by, and I can not join it. Life was small with entry level jobs and women who are likewise 2nd or 3rd choice. My plastic models seem to be the only hobby. I would go to restaurants to meet people. Practice a couple of my instruments, and that was all about there was too it. NOW it is much more narrow than that. I am allowed to paint, glue, and assemble my models here, the food is very good. Activities are limited to watching TV and welcome to the reason for taking a nap. I need to know how to upload a resume, and how to retrieve out of the file, to send it. It would be difficult to go to an interview for employment since any personal car is not allowed on the lot. I am the only one of the family living here, though my sister and her husband are in Stafford. There has been the threat to have me evicted, which would not be unwelcome, but there is nowhere to live in the immediate sense except a motel.. The 'cheap' ones want $45 a night to stay there. My Social Security would pay on that for awhile, but for an interview I would have to rent a car. I have appealed to my Church on Riverside Drive There is some empathy for me and they claim to be asking around, but nobody has stepped forward to 'loan me' a bedroom for a few weeks. Maybe get the job first ? It might be I could pay for the motel and a car , but new on the job leads to unsteady atmosphere. The two men who speak for me are widowed, they have empty bedrooms, but will not speak up. It is uneasy to press them, as is to press my sister. She and her husband have two children who left the home, the couple still live there with empty rooms, but they will not open the home for me. People who attend church, will say they think of the Lord first, then others, have not come forward. They say they are caring. My sister and spouse will not speak for the family. I do not know, but I believe if I had room, and somebody needed a place to sleep for a few weeks, I HOPE ! I would open my place to a friendly acquaintance or the a family member. If all I had was to open the sofa bed, and let them sleep there, it is a strong chance I would offer that. My sister says a manager here, and herself will be looking for a shelter for me. That is a start. I am a 'young' 68 and feel I have lot to offer. I want to get out and mix it up with life, meet people, make it to church more often, shop on my own and pick out my own food. I sometimes hit 'erase' and everything disappears. Better get off. Besides not to offer me a room, sister- husband GAVE AWAY two cars left by my father, knowing I may well need one soon. People seem to stack the odds against me. In Christian Love, Kenny Reilly cell 571/521-9861
