I am watching Foyle's War on Pbs. I think it was on once before but I never followed it through. What a fascinating picture of England shortly after the war ended. The tension between american and English soldiers, segregation of blacks from whites--with only our honorable Detective Chief voting against. It's offensive to hear the men called colored.

There is also a British-sanctioned covert action in alliance with Stalin's Russia to kill off all the Russian soldiers who fought against Stalin and know of a horrendous killing zone in Odessa of Russians who fought for the wrong side--red or white depending on where they stood back in 1917.

It has made me think, just mull over history, especially those parts I didn't really know about it.

I am also getting ready to move to the Coast. My leave is up June 30 and I have no cause to renew here for another year. I will be looking for a place to rent, month-to-month, until making a permanent decision such as buy a condo. I go searching this weekend so please help me with your thoughts and prayers. I would like to be comfortable, with easy access to the coast, as well as paths up into the east hills.

I am applying to schools there as well, so that's important of course.

Still, I know this is the right course. Sounds a little funny, but I have such peace that this is the right way to go forward at this time.

    Just read several of your blogs. I recognize some of my own thoughts and feelings in what you have written about getting your thesis done and moving past graduation. I am feeling some what lost, having completed the program requirements - but not yet attaining the goal of employment as a therapist working with children and families. I am invious of your move to the coast, and wishing I had what it takes just to move and trust God to provide.

    One of the scriptures in my devotional tonight is Isaiah 43:1-3 "Don't be afraid, because I have saved you. I have called you by name, and you are mine. When you pass through the waters, I will be with you. When you cross the rivers, you will not drown. When you walk through fire, you will not be burned, nor will the flames hurt you. This is because I, the Lord, am your God, the Holy One of Isreal, your Savior.

    I needed to be reminded of that tonight. I am feeling discouraged as I continue to look for work, and am not finding a job that feels like a good fit for me.

    You are in my prayers - May God guide and direct each of us to the job he has prepared us to do.
