Thinking about leaving too...

Well not necessarily the UPC...I was just thinking what keeps me here in this city and in this church. I have no family here, no real close friends, not married and no job.....Im not very important to the function of this church. It got me thinking...why am I even here? I could certainly find a city that is cheaper to live in or a church with more singles my age to fellowship with.

What would you do?

Not sure what to tell you, Prax, but I promise to speak your name to the Lord before I turn in.

I don't know anything about you, other than what you have posted...However, from this post I think I would SERIOUSLY be considering a move. Pray about it. Why not move to where your family and friends are? Don't think of yourself as not being important to the function of the church. No matter how insignificant you may feel, you are important to God and probably to the church much more than you realize. Also, seeking out a city where living is less expensive is important, too. .........I'd recommend getting on that google search engine and exploring some other places!!!

I have said this many times, because I truly do not know why we're here.

Move to Rockport, Brother. The cost of living is cheap and I will need someone to chit chat with once my only real friends in the area move. You have to drive for everything around here, the store, wal mart, best buy, you name it. But, crime is low and so is the rent. Oh, and yes, there is a UPC church right here in town, if that's your flavor. If not, there are several different ones in Owensboro, about 10 miles from here. So, when can I expect you?

Bro,

That is so funny. It would be interesting though and you're right about crime and rent being low here.

LOL...not sure I want to do that. For one thing I need a town that has a dialysis unit in it. I'd like to stay in california, but most of the cheaper places are inland like Bakesfield. I have family on the east coast, though Im not keen on the weather there...hot and humid in the summer and freezing in the winter

Hmmm. I am sure that Owensboro would have what you need healthwise. There is a nationally recognized hospital there called OMHS. O-town is 10 miles from here, right across the Ohio River. Do you like being out on water in a boat? Oh, we do have change of seasons around here, but the hot humid stuff is mainly the end of July and all of August. The really cold weather is maybe Jan and Feb, but even then it usually doesn't drop below 20 degrees.

Yes, I think Owensboro does have what he would need.
