Get out the map

1. One thing Karen and I do every night is get out our atlas and try to find the places where we’ve sent resumes. They are mostly in the East, but it’s amazing how jobs are open in the same areas(not the same churches) as last year. Right now it’s like playing dominos. Every event affects another. While waiting to hear from one church we miss out on an interview at another church. It’s quite a frustrating process. Whether you’re raising support to go overseas, looking for a new church, or trying to get your current church to make necessary changes, ministry can be frustrating. I do think that we have to be careful not to become frustrated ourselves by the circumstances. We have to remember the day we first encountered Christ, the day we were called into ministry, the miracles we’ve seen and experienced, and the primal yells of years past to keep our chins up and our eyes on the prize. On a lighter note…
2. If they sold Frosted Flakes flavored milk I would drink it and buy stock in it. You have to be careful though. This morning, I drank too much too fast and got a little sicky.
3. What did we do before txt messaging?
4. I’m still anti-twitter. Seems like a big waste of time.
5. I am still loving the wrestler app on Facebook. My record is 11-6.
6. During this whole job hunt thing, I’ve found how many churches and districts have no website or poorly run websites. Also, people don’t update their email addresses regularly.
7. Going to see Iron Man tomorrow. Hope it’s good and there’s other Marvel movie tie-ins.
Have a great day!
