Tired Times

It has taken since January 4th until now to try to get money to Colorado. I was a trustee for someone and the other trustee was in Colorado. The funds had been invested but now, for many reasons, all of them good, the trust is dissolved and the money needs to be distributed to the one for whose benefit it was set up years ago.

The funds had to be redeemed, a check sent to me, then sent by me to the other trustee for signature. Once signed, it was sent back to me so I could sign and deposit it. Sadly, it took a week to come from the Mutual Fund to me, then I sent it overnight to Colorado, but it took 2 days, and then another day to be signed, Well, time dragged on and it was at last deposited in my brokerage cash account with Edward Jones.

Normally, funds are not available for 5 days after deposit, however the sweet folks at the Edward Jones office spent much of the day monitoring that check and once it cleared the originating bank, I was called. Then both Richard and I had to sign the wire transfer order since we are both owners on the account and it was going into an account of a different name. By the time all that happened, it was too late for the wire transfer today. The money needs to be in Colorado tomorrow.

The whole thing made me tired.

I was sleeping in a Publix parking lot when Richard called me. He was at church and thought I would meet him there. Eventually, I did, and the food, fellowship and service all blessed me. The message was on the parable of the sower. I am noticing there are thorns and weeds in my life... Richard and I talked about all the things that try to choke out Christ in our lives.
