From the Bill Bubble Guy Rant Files- I'm almost at my wit's end

That's terrible that that is happening Marty! I will pray fro you that you're situation improves.

Thank you for your kind thoughts my friends.

And on top of this another man who was by our side through all the trouble we endured previously has started to adopt the same attitude himself. I've heard him say to people who've come in for assistance after 1 while we're still preparing to leave. "No I'm sorry. We're closed."

Just for the record this other man has told me that he will no longer be involved with St. Vincent de Paul at all until further notice. When I talked to Sarah about it she said it's very strange because he's been very unclear as to why he is pulling out. All he told me and her is that he was "doing too much" and needed to take a break. He wouldn't tell us what the exact reason was for this sudden decision. As Sarah said to him, if there's something worrying him, even if she has inadvertently upset him, she would like to know. But all he will say is that he needs to stop working at Welfare. Obviously something is wrong, but he refuses to confide with either of us.

Perhaps this may all be part of God's answer to prayer in the long run somehow, though it means the three of us: Sarah, myself and Greg will have to make our own way to the Welfare Center from now on. For none of us can drive. Sarah and I will have to go by bus. I don't know how Greg will get there but it'll give him one more thing to grumble about unfortunately because he depends upon our friend and his car to cart the food he takes home. Now he'll have to carry it himself on foot or else by bus if he has the fare money on hand in his budget.

Keep on praying everybody. There may be trying times ahead for Sarah and I.

Let pray that things work out for everyone involved, Marty!

Hi Marty i am so sorry about all of this i read the entire thread and then this repsonse that you have put today i am so sorry that u have had to go though all of this .

I will be praying that things will get better for u .

i hope that very soon that Greg will understand about the car situation i know how that i feels i do not drive either so that really sucks when people can treat u the way that greg has and not understand .

Perhaps, for as Garth Brooks sang, "Sometimes, I thank God for unanswered prayers. Remember, when you're talking to The Man Upstairs that just because he may not answer, doesn't mean he don't care, 'cause some of God's greatest gifts are unanswered prayers..."

Yes that is so true that God doesn't always answer our prayers the way we want them to pooh. But He will in His own time and in His own way. I'm walking by faith.

Work went pretty good today. Greg rode his pushbike and took his food home in the carry basket. We were able to end more or less at 1pm today and there were no hang-ups.

I will say this for Greg: He does seem to display an attitude of genuine concern and care for our clients to begin with. It's just that sadly he gets this bee in his bonnet whenever we're busy at 1pm. He just gets so concerned with wanting to close then that he loses sight of his fellow man's needs. A shame. But I'm praying for him. I know he needs it fersure.

He's a busy bee, fer sure, it seems.

Glad it was a good day at work for you Marty!

Glad to know Greg is becoming less of a grouch.
