I think the latest conflict has been somewhat resolved. Words are very powerful.

Anyway, Dr,. Hayes is still offering me job and I think I might take it. BUT he can’t say if he will have one at midterm or not. Thus, I might have to take another anyway , I think I would still take the college job or the Dallas administrative job if offered, but if he has a midterm job I might just head on down. I told him we need to talk—like LIVE. This morning he wrote me a new letter after I mentioned it and said he thought I would like the students and faculty down there. He is trying to draw me without any pressure. He wants it to be my decision. I have just about made it. I am about to focus in my career. It is nice. He is always KIND. That is the word for him. KIND. Sometimes he is a total man, but I love him anyway. Friends like him are rare. Why shouldn't I go work for him? Work matters—it is where you send most of your life.

No new answers otherwise—except the college will interview early Dec. So I will just have to tell them it must be the first. At least I have connections so that might help if it comes to that. I can’t repeatedly fly out.

I will then change my ticket and also my Thanksgiving ticket. I will not go to Tyler after all—unless it would cost me a fortune. But I can’t call the airline until I know for sure my dates and times, obviously.

This song has me enthralled. I cry when I hear it. I keep seeing the dance and it is the picture in my head, along with the song, that moves me to tears It might be the only sign of the old life in me... It is called “I Enter In” and I will quote it later.

For now I must go off to Monrovia to iherb.com where I will pick up my vitamins—on the 210 East after work—ICK!!!! And then I will finish packing, do laundry and get to church. I WANT to go to church—maybe appreciating it while I have it. Then bed and Pennsylvania—to my favorite mountain in the world—a place I hope to meet God and live.
