skin of my teeth

Skin of my teeth, that is an odd expression.  I guess that skin on my teeth would be quite thin and that is where we are, walking a thin line.  There was talk today that the powers that be would like to lay us off at work.  It sounds like my immediate boss let them know that we have work to do but I am concerned.  Robyn was laid off a little more than a month ago and things are tight around here.  As you have probably already figured out, I did not win that huge lottery.

Anyway, I made my new years resolution.  Two of them actually.  One was to get to work on the second enstallment of my story. (part two of the Brink series)  I have the whole story already written in my head but it is not easy to get on paper.  Part three is in there too, but the second part is what I am focusing on.  I am excited about getting my ideas on paper, where ever I am.  So far, work has been the place where most of my ideas come to the top, so I have to take a pencil & tablet and walk briskly to the bathroom so I can jot down the things I am imagining.  Once I get all these embelishments in an organized fashion, I will make availible the written transcript to anyone who wishes.

But I said I made two resolutions didn't I.  The second was to be more bold in trying to win people over to Christ.  Yes, I know you may find that annoying, but I decided I will not let that deter me (like it has in the past).  Just so you know, if you ever (and I mean ever) find yourself with questions where I may be able to help you out, ask.  I won't pretend to have all the answers, but I know people who may, and I will try to find out that which you seek.

So, there we are.  If I have more to say at a later date, you knopw I will.  Until then, later...

Hi dan, Sorry to hear about the work related stress. We are praying for you and Robyn and things to get better. Ebay is going ok...About 75 bucks a week average. I am working on making it better. I am getting better at it each day. It almost is getting to feel like a job. LOL
