Busy Day Ahead

ANOTHER one of my staff has tendered his resignation. That's the second in two weeks.

Not that I could blame, nor could I hold on to them.

With the current state of things, there really is nothing I could do but to let them go, lest I be blamed for lost opportunities and broken dreams.

I was actually hoping this latest one could have stayed on for a little bit - but it's his turn to think of his situation now. Selfish is not a word I'd tag on him - since like me, he had stayed one too many thankless hours - although I still am the record holder.

So, yes, I guess - it's a really busy day ahead. A lot of mess to clean up, a mountain of papers to sort out.

And I guess I won't be off on Sundays yet.


Wish me luck.



This Too Shall Pass


If I can endure for this minute
Whatever is happening to me,
No matter how heavy my heart is
Or how dark the moment may be-

If I can remain calm and quiet
With all the world crashing about me,
Secure in the knowledge God loves me
When everyone else seems to doubt me-

If I can but keep on believing
What I know in my heart to be true,
That darkness will fade with the morning
And that this will pass away, too-

Then nothing in life can defeat me
For as long as this knowledge remains
I can suffer whatever is happening
For I know God will break all of the chains

That are binding me tight in the darkness
And trying to fill me with fear-
For there is no night without dawning
And I know that my morning is near.
