Just when you thought I'd fallen off the blogging face of the universe...I'm back.
I just read todd hunter's blog...talking about discipline (www.toddhunter.blogspot.com). It's odd because yesterday, as I was mowing the lawn (a very special and rare moment of contemplation for me...honest), I was thinking about exactly what he has written. Have you ever noticed how sometimes God brings things up over and over again...and at some point we open our eyes and are like "oh...I see!" One of those moments.
no second job yet. Honestly, I'm less than excited about more 60 hour weeks. But bills must be payed.
Am I completely crazy? I'm convinced that many of the people who have known me for years must think I have lost it. My family and my accomplished colleagues, my former class mates...they all must think I'm nuts. Or a failure. It's kind of awkward living with that feeling sometimes...I'm sure this call to plant missional communities is from God and I see no other means of doing so other than pursuing an alternative career path for income. But it's not that easily explained to some. Some will say I have failed. Maybe I have. Maybe I am completely insane. If that's so, please don't tell me though. I'm starting to get the hang of living with this calling...I'm starting to hope that it might come to fruition at some point in the relatively near future. The last thing I need is to realize I'm simply out of my mind.
please pray that God would make a way for us to land in the city. We really like D.C. but even with a promotion we would need to find bottom of the barrel prices for housing (we're talking 1100/mo for a 2 BR).
