It's a journal. It's a devotional. It's a record of a Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) survivor. It's documentation of God's activities in real time. There are good days and bad, happy times and sad... I tell it like it is. This is an unscripted walk along the meandering paths of my mind. My life has never been dull... and I've never known boredom. Read on, you'll see...

I am a happily married mother and grandmother of a large family. I've also had several careers including writer, teacher, trucker, investment and finance advisor, web master and artist. I am an ordained minister (not to the pulpit) and consider my calling to Christ's service my most important role in life.

Good News-Bad News

We have an offer on our house in Kissimmee! It is much lower than we hoped for but as high as the market will bear at this time, so we accepted. We pray the house is a blessing for the buyer. The sale will surely be a blessing to us!

In a notice dated 1/11/08, the state of California notified me that as of 12/28/07 I am no longer impaired, disables or unable to work, so my benefits have been terminated. I called to ask how they determined I was no longer suffering from the effects of TBI and was told that it was stated on my original claim form that I would be fully recovered on that date. What?! Trying to get any sensible explanation out of the lady giving out this strange information was just plain futile. Finally she informed me I would need to be recertified. Meanwhile, my benefits are withdrawn.

I made an appointment to see my neurologist tomorrow morning. He's quite flamboyant and not a fan of government paperwork, so I suspect he'll go ballistic when he hears that a medical finding has been made from almost three thousand miles away by a government worker.

God is bringing some changes to our lives and finances. All things considered, I am quite at peace and we greatly enjoyed a meal, good fellowship, a time of worship and a great lesson with our church family this evening.
