A Good Fight

"I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept faith."
(II Timothy 4:7)

Everyone faces trials in life. Everyone has a battle to fight. Ultimately, I think, most of us are fighting for good to win out over evil. (In my case, a fight to save my home from an unfair local legislation that might have rendered me homeless.) This past couple of years have been a difficult fight for me, and I know there are more battles in store. I have made mistakes along the way, and I have had some small triumphs. But, like the good soldiers who depend on their compatriots to survive and to finish their battles, I have found a great wealth of friends whose love and loyalty have helped me to survive and conquer (thus far) most of my battles.
I am grateful.
My friends, Rhoda and Keating, helped me this year by saving me from a plumbing disaster that might have ended my fight then and there.
My friends, Rex and Caroline, Kirk F., DD, and many of you reading this have helped me through many struggles along the way through which I might never have survived. But, thanks to your support, I am here, still standing and still fighting.
And, just now, my friend Jeff has saved me from homelessness.
I am grateful.
As of right now, I am stable. I know that in the coming weeks I am going to be faced with a tremendous economic shift that will bring about new pressures and burdens, but I have faith that, with the help of my compatriots, I will survive. There is a renewed hope I have not felt in a while.
I am grateful.
