Some news

[xenia]

As some of you know, I work for a high school sponsored by my old Evangelical church. It has been a tough row to hoe. Not that they've been hostile- on the contrary, they've been as sweet as pie, most of the time. Yet I am swimming in a sea of Calvary Chapelism over there. I have fallen into a rather serious depression over the past few months, due to the job and some other factors.

My priest has hinted that he wished I would quit. Today I did. My principal was about to offer me a considerable raise but I stopped him and said "I quit." So that's that. I gave my final exams today and no more Calvary Chapel for me, in any shape or form, forever!

Part of my depression involves spending increasingly long amounts of time on the computer, reading and posting on forums. I do this to avoid Life, I think. Well, it's time for me to get on with Life, so this weekend I will be deleting my bookmarks to all the forums I frequent. I need to get back into life- cooking good meals, keeping the house clean, working in my garden, reading books, walking in the woods, etc. Time to pick up the pieces and move on.

I love you all and I will miss you all. I've said a lot of good-byes today.

Love, Xenia

Love you too, Xenia.

You will be greatly missed. But I think you're doing the wise thing.

You are very brave, Xenia. You did the right thing.

I hate to see you go, but totally understand. We'll all miss you!
