Re: Like Renda, I'm Feeling The Pressure Too ...
I think that is fantastic! It's never too late, and I think you can appreciate knowledge and the learning process a lot more when you're older. 
My sister went back to school when her oldest son started college, and earned a degree in psychology. I think she was 52 or 53 when she graduated.

Re: Like Renda, I'm Feeling The Pressure Too ...
Great insight, Jane. I think it is a struggle for those who have left the pastorate to go out into the "world" and work a secular job. My husband and I have experienced this. It is a great struggle to just accept what is and know you are now not a pastor. You get used to being treated with a certain amount of respect that suddenly disappears with the loss of position. I have repeatedly asked myself what it is in me that is wrong that I miss that so much. Maybe I have a sick need for respect. Or maybe it isn't so wrong, maybe it just is what you get used to.

Re: Like Renda, I'm Feeling The Pressure Too ...
Tim I know you will succeed. Making the decision is the first step and you have taken that step. I too had considered going back to school but I really have no desire to go back into the day to day working world. Although I have considered being a journalist, which is one of the things I wanted to do years ago.
Tim you are a natural writer, I can see you writing a bestseller with your way with words.
Good luck!

Oh. Hm. Well, that was unfortunate.

Re: Like Renda, I'm Feeling The Pressure Too ...
Timlan, you have the right attitude for the adventure before you. May God bless you and open many doors for you.
Have you checked into their music department for some extracurricular activites?
