on the job
well, i have now spent one day on the job at Calvary Community. pretty crazy that i have a job. i still have no idea what to do, but that will change. i say "still" like i've been at it a long time! gary, the sr pastor, and his wife, diane, who is also on staff as a counselor, have been very nice and i think will make the transition as smooth as possible.
uh....not much more to write.

AP,
On the job a day and you haven't got it all figured out yet? What the crap.
Seriously though: Be confident enough to use the gifts that God has given you, humble enough to ask questions and deeply listen to the answers, and be desperate for God. Ministry should flow from intimacy with Christ. It's easy to fake it, but don't.
Grizzled Veteran advise, it's free and worth every penny.

I can only offer two points of advice:
(1) Stop cheering for Pittsburgh!
(2) Read "Working the Angles" byy Eugene Peterson
pittsburgh is not done yet.
i have a copy of that book, borrowed from a fine pastor named daryl macpherson. i have too much reading to do at hte moment, though!
I hope all goes well for you AP :) You're amazing, so I'm sure all will be fine!
Ben and I will be rooting and praying for you AP! Keep us posted on how everything goes!
