  • Xanga, don't cancel me!!!

    Hello again.  I know I don't blog very often (or ever really), but I think I have a good excuse.  I'm the father of four kids that are aged seven and under, I'm married, I'm a part-time youth pastor (part-time doesn't mean less work) and have been enduring a grueling three month search for a new full-time job to supplement our income (since I got laid off the last one).

    Well, God has been faithful once again (He always is) and staring this Monday, June 30th, I start working at Blue Mountain Community College!!! My official title is Office Assistant/Bookstore Bookkeeper.  I know a couple of other people who work at the college and they all love working there.  It seems like a really cool place to work.  I met with the bookstore Manager the day after I got the job and he seems like a totally cool guy to work with. 

    I'm totally stoked about this for several reasons: a) they are totally understanding and supportive about ministry, b) college = tons of crazy holidays off...paid, c) the benefits are the best I've ever even HEARD of before, and d) our whole family can take any courses we want at the college for FREE.  I'm sure there are tons of other reasons I'll find out to be stoked, but these are the main ones.  Oh, and I can't forget, I'm excited to be bringing money into the house again.  It's been a rough three months, but God has been faithful and we still have a roof over our head, lights, water, and all the necessities we've needed.  The belt has been tightened quite a bit, but God is always faithful to supply all our NEEDS according to HIS riches in glory.  Praise God for that!!!

    Ok, that's all for now.  It's almost 4:00 AM and we have to drive to Yakima tomorrow.  Just wanted to post a quick heads-up and let everyone know that even though I don't write much, I'm reading all the time.  This is my main venue for keeping tabs on all of my long-distance friends and acquaintences.  Keep writing, I'm reading.

    Thanks and God bless!

    Mike
