Sweet spot.<br \/>\nThe healthy boundaries are still in place (ie. not checking work email at home, etc.).<\/p>\n<h3>Ways to Pray<\/h3>\n<p>Our church body has been hit pretty hard by the financial crisis. Many are out of jobs.<br \/>\nWriting my message for my talk in Portland. I am still new to all of this.<br \/>\nWe&#8217;re praying for complete restoration of my eyes before my next appointment.<\/p>\n<h3>That&#8217;s me in a nutshell.
