Stop Whining And Complete The Mission



I was sitting in the front office porch of the Compound drinking coffee and feeling sorry for myself, all because an appellate court had ruled against our diocese and I was looking down the barrel of being down one house and two churches. Whine, whine, whine.


EMU

Then a churchperson showed up for a talk and unwound about some of the things he'd experienced in Vietnam as a Crew Chief. Horrific and Hell don't do it justice, no fooling. 

That put things into perspective and I didn't feel so miserable after the Chief's tale.


Motorcycle Hippy

In related news, the same man once chased a crew of motorcycle hippies out of his stock tank a while back. The thieving hippies were probably chancing it out of Austin and landed in the wrong territory.




Moral of the story? Stop whining, the mission continues.

Is there any sort of "Plan B" that the Bishop may have up his sleeve?

Good question -- an appeal to the Texas Supreme Court is certainly on the way and it looks as though the appellate court ignored aspects of their previous ruling (in our favor).

If we lose that? Set up afresh, I think.
