> Hi Guys,
> Well, I thought that I'd just give a little update on how things are
> going for us in this neck of the woods. We met with Eric, Chris's
> counselor, this morning. We were able to share with him a lot of
> behavioral concerns that he isn't able to see very readily because Chris
> only displays them at home. It was good to talk things through. We've
> called the doctor and we are going to put Chris back on the Conserta.
> It's not an answer, but if it can help Chris pay better attention in
> school and control himself better at home, it is at least a help for now
> while we continue searching and exploring all our options.
> Another big area of concern for us right now has to do with our church.
> We, our church, just isn't able to keep the bills paid. The biggest bill
> is pension and medical insurance for us. With out that, our family would
> really be cut a drift. We want to stay. We've worked hard with this
> congregation and we've come a long way. We're hoping to finally get our
> house started in April, if all goes well. Our church couldn't pay our
> insurance last fall so our denomination stepped in and paid the churches
> bills for two quarters, but that grace has run out and the money stil
> isn't there. Part of the problem is the cost of heating fuel and the high
> electric rates here in Maine, but of course, part of it too is people not
> contributing enough for the church to stay a float. It's hard to have the
> churches finances and ours so tightly wrapped up. It adds to the stress,
> on top of the extra expense of what we are going through with Chris and
> the fact that our taxes will quintuple if we get our house.
> Please just pray for our family, our church and for Chris especially. I
> think about getting ajob outside the home, but I have no idea what I{'m
> good at any more. Maybe I'm just sensitive to the fact that it's raining
> outside and I want the spring to come. Anyway, thanks for letting me

> God bless,
