Tidying up loose ends

As it's the school holidays I had a chance today to tidy up some loose ends..... The solicitor I went to for advice on how to get the final quarter of my investment in the furniture shop sent me a huge bill last week. I dropped in to complain that it was out of proportion, particularly when every time I asked for a price I had been told not to worry. He told me he didn't really expect me to pay the full amount anyway and would come back to me with a revised bill!! At this point the only hope of getting the money back anyway is out of the goodness of the managing director's heart!

I have one essay left now for the teaching course, plus one on-site lesson and then its plain sailing to the exams in mid-May. Trying to be a supportive and loving husband and father is suffering at this time. Hopefully once the exams are over I can reform.

With the enormous recession Ireland is now having it will be interesting to see how the supplementary budget, which is about to begin (15.45), will effect families, the vulnerable and the public service. Watch this space.

Last night my wife and I discussed how our journey with God was growing and/or suffering. God works in seasons and times and for me this is a season of dryness. I have to keep believing that God is there for me, is perhaps testing me, but always loves me.
