There was a lawyer (I’m not sure if he ever took his boards) who was teaching the required classes . The classes lasted several weeks and was done over the phone before us becoming a member of the Natural Therapy Certification Board. At that time, I hadn’t met him. He said he was a friend of David. Months after the classes we were told by a former CARE Instructor who worked for the Certification Board that my teacher (John) said David was getting older and that a New Academy should be started. “Mer and Jo would be good at that.” Needless to say, we were stunned. How does he know about us? And even our nicknames? Unbeknownst to me, Mer was also thinking along that line. So, after much prayer we drove to NC to meet with John. Then we realized our time with CARE was drawing to a close.
We had 3 more classes and we wanted to talk to David face to face rather than he hearing it through the grapevine. I wanted to be able to meet with David and be able to hug him freely – no reservations. So, I prayed to that end tossing and turning in bed particularly before my ER Classes. Then the last night before my last class I woke up and saw a little square of “Film” like from an old camera. It lifted off my chest and fluttered away. I realized it was that last little hurt from David. Then I knew it was going to be OK and that I could trust David again and hug him wholeheartedly.
We drove to David’s house and he was glad to see us, hugging us freely. After the usual chit chat and David playing Maple Leaf Ragtime for me, we got down to business. I was amazed that he smiled – he would miss us he said but believed as we did that it was God’s leading. He offered us to use his materials and even recruit his instructors (Mer and I wouldn’t do that). But there is no better material than what David put together. He blessed us and publicly endorsed us twice. Mer and I wouldn’t leave him in the lurch as far as his monthly accounts. He voice-recorded step-by step how to input these records in the computer. After several months, maybe a year later, David’s wife died and we went to the funeral. One of the ladies came up to Mer and said she wanted to meet the man whose voice she listened to every month helping her input the data.
We closed the academy after 5 years and the corona Virus. Every decade is different and many people are teaching now for far less than we did although not the same things and less in depth. I’m grateful for the time with CARE, for old Midwest friends we don’t see and much anymore, for the Instructors of the academy, and the miracles we’ve experienced with them.
The oil blend for this Blog would be “ Into The Future.”
