There were a few things that I felt needed to happen before I could retire. First we would (obviously) have to have an income that we could live on. My early retirement plus Ken's SS would not quite make it. Then, to our surprise, we started receiving enough from the gas well to make up the difference! Secondly, we would need to have paid off (or at least dimished) our indebtedness to a manageable level...which, also thanks to the extra money, will happen. Less importantly, but still a factor, is the status of my principal, and rumor has it that this is her last year. I have said repeatedly that I do not want to stay past her tenure. Do ya' think God is telling me something like: "Yes, it is time."! And none of this is our doing, so in the immortal words of Queen Elizabeth, "This is the Lord's doing, and it is marvelous in our eyes!" Exciting days ahead!
Now for the question of moving to east town. There is a house that calls to me, but is not for sale. Our house would have to be sold. And, as always, there is the question of finances. Mark this spot and look for what God will have us do!
