Youth Pastor (POEM - Trigger Alert)

Youth Pastor
David S Nicholson

 Reaching for God.
Looking for an answer.
The fire in my heart.
A leader to look up to.
Alone in his house.
He shows me his gun.
He takes off his shirt.
I know what he wants.
I pretend it’s OK.
But it’s only because of who he is.
Then I run and I tell.
Next week in youth group they look at my strange.
One won’t look at me at all.
I turn away for many years.
I hate myself because of him.
I wanted to kill him.
I wanted to die.
Then I learned to forgive and the pain vanished.

SAID Did Not Handle It at All

Image
I'm actually extremely more sad than angry. I put a lot of energy into trying to get an advance, but it seems doomed to not happen, no matter how much I need it. Mar 13, 2024 I email SAID (disability in Saskatchewan). Mar 15, 2024 Left a voice mail. Mar 18, 2024 left another voice mail. Mar 20, 2024 got a call telling me they would process the advance on Mar 21, 2024. The deposit into my account should have been just after midnight on Mar 22, 2024. Well this is 6:46 am Mar 22, 2024 and I have left yet another voicemail. The money was never deposited OF COURSE. I need shoes SOON, but do you think I can get the government workers to do what they are being paid to do? Well, no I can't. I would pray that they get the message and it somehow magically gets deposited today before 1 pm. But I am rather sure this was the last push I needed to stop believing there is a God. I am really depressed right now and exhausted. The stress of them taking so dang long to even get back to me has le

Feeling Abandoned by the SAID Program (Saskatchewan Disability)

Image
"Saskatchewan Department of Human Services" is the closest translation to Saskatchewan Social Services Department I could get. But I made them a new logo. They are the ones who run the disability here in the province. I know someone is picking up for my working not working there anymore, but it's been a LONG time and no call from them at all. I sent an email request to the email I was told to send it to. I called the number twice after that to leave a message. This is not cool from email to now is 4 working days. In all that time surly, it's my turn to be handled? I'm very upset and it's literally making me sick. So some art therapy is in order I think. To be honest I've had it a LOT better with them than the medical system to say the least, but DANG, I'm stressed out to the max and I am getting frightened that something very bad has gone wrong like thy messed up and closed my file by mistake. It HAS happened to a friend, so don't think it's no

Medical Update (Disturbing Photo Warning)

Image
On Dec. 31, 2023 I was laying on the floor in my apartment for 7 hours after falling when I got too drunk. I wan not able to get up and it took some time for anyone to hear me calling for help. I find it amazing that the people on either side of me, or across the hall heard nothing, but the lady way down the hall did hear me. She called an ambulance for me and I was helped off the floor with use of an air bag designed just for this task. I was taken to the hospital and seen right away. When in the hospital I was advised I needed a CT scan of my brain right away, as I'm on blood thinners and they worried about bleeding into my brain, since I could not recall falling. The CT operator in the Moose Jaw hospital was not available and I had to be taken to Regina General to have the scan. Fortunately, I did not have any bleeding in my brain. I have to say, that after being on the floor for 7 hours, if I did, I'd be dead or a salad plate by the time I was found. But better to be cautio
