I must say, you have remained planted longer than I could have. If I feel a congregation or pastor begins to drain my spirituality rather than allow it to grow and deepen, I move on as I want my financial and spiritual support to be given when it is most beneficial to the cause of Christ. So glad it is looking up for you.
I relate to you sharing of the harassment. Both me and my husband are quite and somewhat reclusive by nature. It isn't that we dislike people, but we require a lot of quite and too much activities in over-stimulating and stressful for us.
Some churches and leaders just can't allow individuals to be as they were created and expect everyone to fit in a mold they have created. I left a church in which a pastor would become irate, loud and aggressive if he was turned down by someone regarding a job or activity.
Suggestion
"The next couple of days later" I would rephrase this to ( A couple of days later.)

Comment from judiverse
This is really interesting and has great insights about what is going on in the church and your feelings about changes that should be made. Your remarks about Louise and her car with the hand controls. This is enjoyable reading, but I hope you didn't lay all this on the pastor. Short and sweet would be the way to go, and you can make your point without all the details. Don't overwhelm him with more than he can take in about so many issues. What I'm trying to say is this is fine for purposes of a memoir, but I suspect the recipient of a letter would want things shorter. judi Update: I notice that this is more about your church concerns. You would think that members of the church would be more supportive and understanding, especially when it came to the fuss over your retirement from playing for church services. I notice you capitalize a few words that don't need capitalizing, like restaurant and bride. judi

Hi, well he did not get most of this. There is more I could say and maybe I will add as to our relationship with the pastor. Good man andn all that but now he has just turned 65 and is in bad health and should have retired but we can't get anyone else! Not all his fault but the buck stops at the top most of the time. Thanks for the review.

My experiences with organize services is those who truly support the church with other's needs in mind are few in number. This is well written.

A very interesting write, Geoff, it took me a little long as I'm not a swift reader. I will read your future ones, Geoff to support you in your literary endeavours! I couldn't pick up any perceptible errors, I enjoyed the work with your troubles of obtaining a pension to your troubles at church! Just another day at the office! Well written Geoff, I look forward to some of these biographical writes! It was quite absorbing! Blessings, bro. Roy.

hey Bro Roy juast going through putting the list of RFeviewers for my Acknowledgement page. This is the second Collars Pastors and Bus Drivers page that may indeed have a makeover since you visited 4 y76ears ago if you wanna have a real quick look if FS will let you. You probably forgot how it was back then and you can do a review just have a look ok Chapter37.

Welcome

I think you can add/ change your old review if you find things better or? Not that the previous was bad or anything, but it has probably been drastically changed.

Well done Geoff

Thanks for coming back.

You sure have a very unique way of writing. It is interesting and although some of the subjects are serious, it still reads in a light tone.

Hehe thanks for the review Can't remember if you are in South Africa or America will check the spelling. Thanks for the great review. You would find a lot of relevance to this chapter in the previous one if you care to look. Thanks again.
-
Fixed one spelling error you pointed ot that we actually agree on programme is how we spell it here except for the 'plethora' of lazy spellers who would agree with you. I added some more for some solutions that came about from my letters and meetings if you wish to look again. You were correct on tendency!!

This is an interesting piece of writing that the author has created with this post. We all have our problems in life and the only difference is how we deal with our problems. This is very thought-provoking indeed.
