Post #282,973 by Nightowl 4/24/07 9:26:22 PM Reply	Been thinking along that line too. I'm considering all options. If they somehow get the preacher either in line or gone, I would consider returning. If he stays in charge in the manner he is in, or doesn't remedy any of the problems, I will most likely scram. The nicest part right now though is I don't have to make such a decision at this time. I have all the time I want to wait and see what happens with tomorrow's meeting and whatever else might happen. Right now the goal is to get my heart to stop racing every time the thoughts cross my mind, and I'm making progress on that. :) Thanks for all your opinions, and I'm taking them under consideration.

Do is activity, isn't it, but you state activity is uncalled for, so I'm not sure what you meant. Like I said, I'm waiting to see what, if anything happens tonight and in the next couple weeks while I'm on my extended leave, and meanwhile I'm looking into the area of another church. I just have to decide which one to check out, but I'm waiting till I feel better both physically and mentally.
