Oooohhhh! Need to know what happens next.......

As always great writing, you swept me along on a tide of emotions along with those folk in the crowd.

Hope Foy finds what he is looking for. Loneliness is a killer.

For some reason, I feel the infrequent urge to comment. But I have no idea what to say.

It's just the little things--seemingly insignificant details--that seem to resonate from this story. That milk bottle on the floor of the bus just tortured me.

I know this pain and it's recent and it's fresh and I'm right there.
I think I even have that Bible. I think that I AM that Bible.
I'm saying goodbye this week to a ministry of 10 years -- and the leaving isn't pretty.
I've a position at a much smaller church, less pay, but with a gentle group of people and maybe I can heal.

Anonymous, Its amazing how many people know this pain.

Yes, it is, isn't it? That feeling of lonely in the middle of a crowd or, for that matter, a family.

It is particularly amazing how many ministers deal with the kind of pain you are dealing with. I hope your departure from your current position goes as well as possible, and that in time you can somehow come to remember them fondly. Maybe your new postition will help with that.

Gordon,
I appreciate your gentle response, but my last comment was to the anonymous commenter above. I hope you haven't been worrying about my sanity for the last 3 days.

loved it... as usual.
