Amazing

First of all, to clear up something from my previous post. It was only a few spoiled youth who were unhappy, and those few parents have gotten in an uproar. I have had tremendous support from most of the parents and youth. As it currently stands, I have an evaluation on Tuesday night and will have a chance to talk about what I’ve done and what I have planned for the youth. There is talk of a compromise with me being the coordinator and some of the parents doing programs sometimes. We’ll see. I would accept that, if offered.

The most amazing thing did happen today. My favorite doctor EVER came to my house and visited today. He told me that he and his wife (my dear friend) had written a letter to the staff parish committee. He talked a lot about my commitment to the church and keeping things going there. It made me feel very humbled. I was thinking, "I’m going to have to hug him when he leaves." Now, he’s a very sweet man, but not one to be overly demonstrative in public. But he reached to hug me first! I felt like crying. So touching. (and don’t worry, Bill was right there).

No matter what happens now, I feel very good about the support I’ve gotten.
