...and then there were other things...

Hey there. Still here. The Cubs won their 4th in a row. Cool. The car is back and stops well. It better after shelling out that dough for brakes! That really hurt, spending money we don't really have available. Much of today was spent on the new website assisting Bryan. It originally seemed awfully quiet on the job front. That was fine, I was enjoying the time on the site. I have more to do tomorrow. I can't help but think that there is a long term opportunity with the website. I will continue to pursue that idea.

However, I did end up receiving a couple calls from people in my old field. One call I answered that might lead to an interview. The other was a message from Ed who is the president at my old company at Kroeschell that I need to return. Although that is good, I am still not sure about going back to that field. I need to proceed carefully there.

I am going to be worship leading at River Valley church in Aurora the first Sunday in May. I need to talk to them tomorrow to get more details. Should be interesting.

Meanwhile, I think that I am going to copy what Spike-TV is doing. They are running, in order, the entire Star Wars series. Since we have the DVD's here, I might do that the next handful of nights. I might not get that opportunity again.

American Idol is still on. yawn....

The good thing for me is your situation reminds me to be grateful.

When I was out of work I had to get my brakes and suspension repaired on an old car. To add insult to injury, it was a Ford. To add more insult to injury, I ended up totalling that car when I finally did go back to work.

That is neither here nor there for your situation. Just wanted to say that you're not alone.

I think it's really hard for anyone to do the "manna in the desert" thing--that there is enough for today's need and that today is all we've got. That tomorrow really doesn't exist--because tomorrow it will be "today" again--with its own unique issues and resources. It's humbling.

It's encouraging that you are having this much interest to the inquiries on all the fronts on which you are investigating employment opportunitites.

IT's important to do what you love. It's also important to get money coming in. When I was unemployed, getting some kind of income was the first goal. I kept looking for the kind of job I wanted after that was accomplished.

Taking one job is just the one job--not that you are mated to it for life like a Canada goose.

It was hard for me to keep and open mind amid the uncertainty of not knowing what I would be doing the next day and that my life could change (or not change) based on which doors opened.

I feel for the uncertainty of living this way. It gives me lots more sympathy for the Israelites in the desert on the way to the promised land.

I'm sorry I can't make it go away.

Like I said before and I will say it again...... God has given you a sign and placed it in your heart. Trust Him, your words spells out what He is telling your heart... Be still and listen.
