Better days

I have had a better few days lately. I am not too sure why because I still don't have a job (maybe it was the prayers).

Anyways, yeah... things have just been better. I did hear back from one job at a church on the east side of the state BUT I doubt I would take it. Moving wouldn't be worth it and I think I would rather work in at most other jobs over here then move. Plus we would lose a bunch of money on our house and I don't know if I want to work at a church.... just sell out to make money at a church that I don't want to be at probably is a bad idea. And Catie wouldn't like it. But next weekend I think Catie and I are going to visit.... at least that is the plan.

On the other hand, nothing on the job front here. Hopefully soon.

The family is doing well. The kids are pretty healthy. I had a good weekend working on a video and watching football. I won in fantasy football in both leagues. Oh, and I FINALLY did something active (football) after my.... procedure. It had been way too long. Yep. So it was a pretty good weekend. And now it has cooled down again... which I like. Back to hoodies and jeans.

On a completely different subject.

I am still trying to evaluate what I think about church. It has been hard lately as Catie hasn't really wanted to go either. I just want to be excited to go to church.... and I know a lot of that is my own issue I have to deal with. I am excited about looking to get a new lead pastor though. I think that could be cool as long as he doesn't get rid of everyone that is already there. I just hope it is a progressive vineyard guy. I am out of the loop now so I don't know what is going on as far as searching goes.

I do miss doing stuff at church. I miss brainstorming.... although at the end of my stay we did very little of that. I also miss the creative stuff throughout the church. Dave does a good job but he doesn't have as much time to invest. I hope we do more series that are thought up by our leadership.... I just feel like we are losing some of the personality when we do "big church" series... but what do I know? (well I do know what I like.... and I like to hear from the people at our church). But again I am not around and videos take real time.... and time is not what people on staff have. I also miss talking to people.... that was my favorite part. But again as time went on and Catie got her job I wasn't around so people were less likely to talk... including me.

SO that is all for now. It has been good to step back for a while.... the only problem is I am not excited about anything that is going on at church right now..... I want to be excited and be inspired.... I just am not.... and I don't think that is anyones fault... our church just feels kind of.... depressed.... that is at least what is seems... but it could just be me.
