I am in such a FUNK! I don't like being depressed, but sometimes it just gets the best of me! I just do NOT understand this situation that we are in right now. I mean, it seems like everytime we get a glimpse of hope, someone comes along with cold water and pours on us! At first, it seemed like maybe it was just a cup of water. Now, however, it feels like the entire Atlantic Ocean has been dumped on my head. I thought that today would be the day that a door would open for Tom, but it was slammed in his face because he doesn't have a "TEACHING" certificate. He has a MASTERS degree...but NO teaching certificate!! Well, once again, my glimmer of hope was dumped on! I pray that I will be able to overcome this depressed feeling and that SOMETHING along the way will become positive. I was already down because someone at church asked if Tom was Ordained. Our reply was "NO, but what can an ordained person do that he can't do. He can marry and bury because he is licensed...just not ordained." Sooo, is this going to be the requirement to be hired fulltime where we are? I just don't understand. ....'Xcuse me..could I just decline the water this time?
