'm still around, just lurking. Haven't seen much that I felt moved to respond to lately. Things are pretty much as always, on the edge of disaster and hanging on by a thread. The doctor tried me on some new meds that are less expensive than the ones I was taking, but they aren't working well, and I am gonna have to back on the $150 a month stuff. I don't know how I'm gonna afford it, but the cheaper stuff makes me feel vaguely paranoid and angry all the time, as well as making me struggle for words and lose my train of thought, sometimes in the middle of a word. I can't really function like that. Leave us it to me to need the most expensive stuff available.

On the good news side, I have found a blues band that actually ahs Christians in it and have a mission making music in secular venues. It may bring in a couple of hundred a month as well as giving me a ministry outside Sunday mornings, which gives me a feeling of purpose I haven't had for a very long time. You can see our website at http://www.bluez57.com/Band_Bio_s_Page_2.html . PRetty cool Kangol, I think...

Please pray about the meds and the band. And thanx for taking time to ask after me.

Yes, it is nice to finally 'see' him now. He kind of reminds me of Carlos Santana, rather than John Wayne now. 8)

Good for you, Mike - especially the sense of purpose part - most necessary for any musician.

I'll be praying about your meds and for a total balance of well-being.

I miss seeing your posts.
