I am a retired college teacher, who does some church work, has no important responsibities. This was not true of college teaching, but health problems caused me to leave it. So when morning comes, I really have to ask, "Why get up?"
The little nondenominational church I am starting with a friend is tiny. It is in a section of town where it can do some good, and I know it will help the founder, who is 81, and needs something to do. Gosh, I hope I do not linger to 81.
My other work with a nursing home and prison ministry involves a "captive audience". It does not require a real committment. I am in a malaise, have depression, chronic anxiety, and my life is a a burden. I can sincerely minister to people on the basis of knowing the Bible, being able to teach it well, and encourage others--even if I am not encouraged abut myself.
What are little, any things to get me out of bed? Any ideas will be appreciated, simple, suggestions for planning a day? God bless any help.
