I hope you all have had a wonderful day.  I'm sorry if I don't respond quick enough to your messages or hugs, but I do eventually, and I hope you all know that. Today in the heart of Wichita, KS, we recieved 6.6 inches of snow, and the drifts were 2 feet high.  I had a blast trying to get out to get my mail since I do not have snow shoes, and I was laughing all the way through it.  My neighbor who raped me stayed inside all day; I think he's depressed, yet he's that way, oh, all the time with his horrenodus habits. I was studying Syphillis on the web, and the authors of certain websites mentioned where it would be located.  Well, I don't have any sores on me where it mentioned, so I believe I don't have any STD's.  Praise the Lord!!!!  I just hate the guy who forced to me to have sex with him in the midst of drugging me with GHB.   I have noticed that I take better care of myself this time around compared to the first.  I go to the Chiropractor and I go get my hair done, and many more things that are positive.  I think I am farther along in this process thanks to all of you as well as people locally. Hey, I have good news.  I might have an internship at Episcopal Social Services, but am going to check out their facitilites next Thursday to find out how I can get the necessary training for counseling.  I will keep you updated. I hope to start up my second job, hopefully by the end of next week.  All I know is that I need to start soon, and I may even take on being an Adjunct Professor at Butler Community College (apply there) as well.  We will see because I still need to get the necessary information out to them on it. I made excellent grades this semester.  For MCC, I made 2 A's in Survey of the NT Litterature and Basic Christian Doctrine, 1 Bt in Basics of Biblical Leadership, and 1 B- in Restoration History.  I am quite pleased and am still awaiting to find out for grad. school.  I will keep you updated. What do you all do for Christmas?  I go to my fiance's parents house and my Grandma's that fine day.  How about Christmas eve?  This varies from year to year, but I believe my fiance' and I are going to the 6 p.m service.  We might go to his parents church too; we don't know yet. Merry Christmas to you, and many blessings to you all year 'round.
