9 Days Of Sorrow

Well, the title relays a lot. Since, Saturday, January 24th to now, I have lost two grand parents. My maternal grandfather, who was 87, and my paternal grandmother who was 83.

My grandfather passed away on the 24th and was buried on Wednesday, January 28th. He was a highly decorated World War Two veteran. He had a bronze star and two purple hearts among many other medals. He managed to achieve all that in 7 months while over seas. He was an amazing man.

My grandmother passed away this evening, Saturday, January 31st. She was an amazing grandmother who survived husband by many years. She was always a very dedicated mother.

This going to be very hard on all my family. My father was very close to his mother. Although we has some time to prepare she will be sorely missed. I would ask all my brothers and sisters in Christ to be in prayer for my family. Not just for peace of mind but also financially. We will have to travel down to South Louisiana, which will put us in a financial strain. Also, as for as we know my grandmother hadn't made any funeral arrangements. This will put a financial strain on my father and all his siblings.

Big Changes Again

Well, the sales job didn't pan out so that cut out the possibilty of me teaching. That happened back in October. I went back to work for my former employer until my dad asked me to come back to work for him so that we could start the process of me taking over for him. He is 62.

I'm still looking at building a new plane soon. The Ultracruiser is still my prime choice, though I may build a Zipster.

Hart Aviation, which I have a link to on this page, sells the plans and supplies for this plane.

Well that is all for now.

Big Changes Continued

Hey, I start my first day at the school tomorrow. I start my first day at my new job Wednesday.

Boy, these days things are coming fast. The interesting thing is that I see it being as much a part of my age as I see it being the changes .

My children are excited.

My wife on the other hand has mixed feelings. She is excited at the prospect of me being there for her more, but she is nervous about the new form of income.

Me, I'm past nervous and very excited.

I'll try to keep posting about how things are going with this endeavour.

Big Changes

Well, My family and I will be getting to spend a lot more time together. I'm taking a job that will allow me to volunteer teach at my children's school. They go to a Christian school.

I was not interested in this job when I was first approached about taking it. But when I found out the hours, I decided that I should step out on faith and do it because of the time it provided. It is commission sales. I will be relying more on the Lords goodness of being payed on a commission basis.

The best thing is that I will be teaching my boys and helping keep an eye on things in general, which will help my girls.

I would like to write more about this and may later. My wife just came up so I will stop for now.
