Taking a leave of absence from the hobby and MFCA

[Silverhorse 228]

Some of you know that I have been having personal problems at home...as a result I can no longer function as a person, let alone, as a valued member of this brotherhood. So I am removing myself from the MFCA Board of Directors, Convention Staff and Editor of The Tweak. I am sorry if I am disappointing anyone, but the only person I need to work on is myself right now. It hurts for me to step down, mostly because I will be letting down my best friend for the last 4 years...Lynn "Weirdwolf" Schmidt...but I just can't do it anymore.

I hope and pray that people will step up and take more of an active role in the MFCA. It has been a labor of love for me and this is very hard for me to walk away from it, but I have hit rock bottom at home, and electric football is far from my mind.

May God bless all of you...I will be gone for atleast six months, if not for good...if you want to help me, then do one thing...help Lynn keep the MFCA alive. That is the greatest gift anyone can give me.

yes, we hate to see you go, but, we all need a break every so often. please remain strong brother. we are hoping and praying the BEST for you.

You will be in my prayers as always bro. Please keep God in your life and remember to read the poem footprints. Try to clear your head through him guiding you, and don't try to do this by you yourself leading. I have learned that the hard way, and i screwed that up in 2003. Let him guide you, and get out of his way. One footprint with him leading the way is the only way to walk. I am going through my divorce right now, and I'm telling you that this time around it is better because I am no longer in his way.

Matt,

You'll be in my thoughts and payers. I'm sorry to hear you are going through struggles right now. Your efforts and contributions to the MFCA have been above and beyond the call.

Please call if you need anyone to talk to. Believe it or not my biggest strength is helping and supporting those in need. This hobby is nothing but a sidebar in the game of life. Frank said it best.

God bless you!

You deserve better!

Matt,

I'm sorry for whatever is going on with your life... I know first hand how difficult just getting through each day can be.

Just know this: It's okay to ask for help. That's why we are all here... to help each other. No one can go it alone.

Hey Matt,

I too am sorry to hear that things aren't going well at home.I pray for you and your family that you will be granted a speedy recovery from any issues at home. Always take care of the business on the homefront as that is where everything branches off from.
