Haven't posted much for the past several weeks. I seriously doubt it matters much. If I'm wrong and you, dear reader, have been missing that special something in your days because I haven't been writing, then, uhhh, I guess you can leave me a comment and let me know . . . oh, and I'm sorry (I guess).

Anyhoo, the past couple of weeks have been sort of a waiting game. As I mentioned in previous posts, Michelle has been interviewing with companies in hopes of getting a new gig. One interview was with a small startup company and the other interview was with a massive very recognizable company with many prominent products on the market. Each has its own appeal. She's expecting a job offer from the small company within the next few days, but won't likely hear from the big company for a few more weeks. That makes the decision a bit tricky - do you accept the offer in hand because it's in hand or do you hold out for whichever might be the better deal?

Today my big task is to complete an application for renewal of funding from my denomination for the church start. I'm very ambivalent about this. Actually, I'm pretty negative about it - mainly because it involves me putting my "numbers" together and attempting to justify the support. I understand the process and don't necessarily disagree with the accountability of what I've done with the support I've been receiving - I just think there's a lot more to this deal than the numbers reflect. Even if I were to get picked up for another year of funding (which I have my doubts about), I doubt I really want it. I think at this point I'd rather just go get a regular job that pays a regular paycheck and do the church planting thing more organically, naturally, and less dependently. There are other planters out there that are better at this deal than me, and could use the support I'm currently getting. I'm going ahead with the application in order to stay faithful to some guidance I've received. If I decide it's not the way to go, I can always pull out at that time.
