began something that you didn't finish and then later wish you had, or feel guilty/disappointed that you didn't follow it through to completion?

Just curious,
Rhoni

Well, Rhoni, Yes, there was once something that I , but wait, first I hav ta tell you about my cat. She is so crazy.

I called the doctor. I said, "Doc, my cat is so crazy, what do I do?" Speaking of doctors, why do they..."ring-ring" ...hold on...(answers phone)yes? Ahuh. Oh my! Yes, thankyou very much. (hangs up) Ok, and then my brother, God rest his soul, gave me his favorite autographed baseball.

Yeah, (tears up) Ah, ya know baseball, what a great all American sport. Do you remember how it felt to be at your very first statum game? I sat in the nosebleed section and acually got a nosebleed! Yeah, really! I went to Hawaii once too...but I say, if ya can't go to Hawaii, than bring Hawaii to you!Let's have a Luau!! Par-tah!!

But seriously, Rhoni, yes, I wish I would have finished college.

You're too funny. It is strange for me...by the time I was 28 I had accomplished everything that I had hoped to up until that time. Where do you go from there but....down, down,down...

then you have to make other goals and change your plans.

There are a few things in the past few years left unfinished in my life. This is the first time...I don't know where to start...so

any advice for Dear Rhoni?

You had seriously accomplished everything you wanted to do in life by the age of 28?

Either you were very motivated, or your list of things you wanted to do was very short!

Both. I was raised ultra-conservative UPCI. I did what I was supposed to do...go to Bible College, marry a preacher, and Pastor a large church. That is all of life that I knew there was to do.

After church trouble, a divorce, and single parenting...I realize life is much more than I thought it was. Do other Apostolic people have any goals that I don't know about?

Just curious...

Wish I would have gone farther in my medical education but that's purely for monetary reasons. I actually love what I do.

I do wish I'd never stopped playing the trombone. I'm trying to get back in shape after a 25 year layoff.
