I had a good chat with some colleagues, a dear friend in the US, and thought and prayed some more; it may be cyclical depression as much as anything that has tipped me over. Frustrations are there, but I may be building them up. Hard for me to stop though. With thanks for your prayers, thoughts and comments, and with the grace of God, I will keep going -- for now at least.
I also decided to spend Christmas in San Jose with my friend; I'll leave there on the 27th now. I am looking forward to spending time with him, and others I have met there, and also experiencing the Christmas services of the Assyrian Church of the East.
