That could apply to people laid off or people making other life changes.<br /><br />@ Mrs (not) the Jet Set - a lot of people have expressed an interest in "keeping things going" after the class ended, but never actually show up when the time comes. Encouragement is needed, but people seem hesitant to admit they fell off the wagon. It's also not a main focus at our church. I can think of another church in town where it would be a huge success. They practically <i>make</i> their members go through FPU. They've had classes of over 500 people. I'll let you know how the topic based discussions go.TA-TAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02172627904639676958noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4817092360980528635.post-43739037629676940232010-05-18T14:37:24.548-04:002010-05-18T14:37:24.548-04:00We have talked about doing an alumni class on and ...We have talked about doing an alumni class on and off over the last three years. It's interesting to hear how yours went. We always have a lot of people who want the extra encouragement after the class ends. Maybe if the alumni group meets two weeks after the last class ends it will be the right time for them to come back?

Perhaps it's the way my own life has played out over the past year, but maybe something like money management after a layoff, living on one income, managing a role reversal (perhaps more marriage class than money, but it's real and more couples are dealing with it these days)??<br /><br />Good luck!

We have children who don't need to be around that and, to be frank, Chris and I don't need that either.<br /><br />Now, for other situations that can come up in life we take things on a case by case basis - but our family still has to come FIRST. <br /><br />I guess I look at it like, if the 5 of us aren't stable, then we really can't offer any stability or help to anyone else in the moment anyway. <br /><br />The holidays always seem to bring out drama ...

For the time being, it's impossible to ignore the circumstances surrounding our extended family. At other times, we have been more private.<br /><br />We take a few minutes each Sunday night to prioritize what needs to happen during our week. We talk about who needs what, who wants to see the kids, what do we all have going on, etc. We also make a point to preserve some downtime for the 4 of us (generally our Friday movie night).<br /><br />I hope things settle down. It can be stressful on a normal day, but it seems so much worse because of the holiday.Trishhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15602342689896095786noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4817092360980528635.post-36542285886656760002010-03-22T23:22:47.203-04:002010-03-22T23:22:47.203-04:00That is AWESOME!

We are slowly refunding everything and are so very thankful to be doing so.
