Well this is the Bible echo is it not? What more appropirate entry can
you make? Would love it.

First, sorry for the delay in replying. Between weather (thunderstorms
much of last weekend), and doing stuff as Power Of Attorney for my
elderly Mom (who's in rehab, and not doing well), the BBS has taken a
back seat, as have my other 2 hobbies of ham radio and square dancing.

Sadly, I'm afraid my Mom won't last the month, and my brother is so
depressed that he's hinting at suicide. Add to a potential "double
funeral" (which I can't handle), and a move back to my Mom's place, I
fear I'm heading for a breakdown.

But, I'll update the batchfile to start posting a daily Bible verse in here...I've been posting such in the MINISTER echo for quite some time
now.

No problem, I understand there more important things in life that this
hobby.

I will say a prayer for all of you. Just remember your faith and that
this is only a shell we occupy for a short time and that our soul belongs
to God and he wants us to enjoy our eternity with Him. Your mom will
receive the peace she so much deserves. Place all your strength in Him to
see you through this difficult time. I have lost a parent also and
understand where you are at.

Ruben,

No problem, I understand there more important things in life that this RF>hobby.

That is for sure. Between the move from my apartment back to my Mom's
home, then putting my Mom into a nursing home, and dealing with the
finances with that, along with computer/internet issues, I've had more
stress than I can handle. I've been on the verge of a breakdown for
weeks now.

At times, I've felt like I've been abandoned. My brother can't even
balance his own checkbook, so all the finances with getting my Mom into
a nursing home (including cashing in a bunch of things, and dealing with
some financial penalties for poorly documented purchases)...plus the
move back home, I've been ready to snap for weeks.

In Arkansas, the average cost per month of a nursing home is $5500 for
a semi-private room, and $7500 for a private room. To qualify for
Medicaid, if you get too much in retirement, pensions, disability, etc.,
they basically have to make you bankrupt. I'm going to end up paying the
tax (personal property, plus state and federal income) on the money for
my Mom, my brother and myself.

In short, she'll be bankrupt (I doubt she'll ever come back home), my
brother will get his money, and what I get will have to pay the bills
and the taxes, and I basically just get my Mom's house, her car, and my possessions. I was hoping to get to take "one big trip" to Florida next February as a "reward" for all the stress I've been under...a trip I had sacrificed/cancelled 2 years ago, when my Mom had her pacemaker put it.
But, it looks like he'll get his money, but my Mom and I basically get
nothing. I told my brother that "when it's gone, it's gone, so don't
blow it".

So many times on Earth, I took the job that no one else wanted; which
was usually the dirtiest (cleaning, etc.). So, I feel that at the Bema Judgment, that I'm going to tell The Lord that "You deserve these
rewards and crowns much more than I do, as You alone are worthy of the
Praise". Because I am so unworthy (I feel worse than the prophet Isaiah,
who said "I am a man of unclean lips"), I feel like I should get the
position just above "the least in the kingdom of Heaven", with the task, position, and rank, that no one else wants. The Lord may have something
better, and recompense me at "the resurrection of the just", but that's
the least of my concerns right now.
