Wow, a month. Sorry for the absense. I should stick with this more often. If you know me, don't let me slack.
Big things first. As I noted in the comments to my last post (What? You don't look at the comments? Please do and post your own.), I feel like I'm still lacking in 'owning' my calling. I should be living like a pastor now and making that calling guide my life.
Right now, I feel like there's this Truth out there I need to embrace. Not just some truth, but Truth. It's as if a knowledge of God is within me, I just need to trust Him enough to depend on it. Imaging never having played the piano before, but believing that if you just sat down at one you could play it perfectly. What if the first time you try it is in front of 30,000 people. Would you have the courage to try it out there? The faith? My heart feels like I need to stop worrying learning who God is and just know who God is. Either I'm insane or ordained and I'm too scared to find out.
Some personal notes. I'm seriously thinking of getting a second job. My wife has been wanting a house and I've been wanting to be debt free. I've made getting rid of our existing debt a prerequisite for getting a house, but that's just going too slow. I honestly believe that our current debt load will be a huge shackle in my ministry so I want rid of it. Therefore, I'm going to pick up a job to get rid of these debts and free us up to purchase a house and use our money more effectively.
Also, it's TV season again. At my house this generally means the return of TV Thursdays. It's my wife's night as her shows are on that night. I have found myself interested in two new shows, Jericho and Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip. I'm also interested in this new show Heros although I haven't watched it yet. I just don't know if I have any business watching 3 hours of TV, plus the shows Amanda wants to watch. I guess I'll just wait to see if I get this job.
Well, you all keep in touch. God's out there and still working.
