Sunday, 5:50am
Up early this morning, as is my way when I am going to be preaching/teaching. Actually, I've been up for an hour now. In a few hours, Michelle and I will be visiting a small church in Redmond, and I'll preach the morning sermon. The church is currently seeking someone to pastor them bi-vocationally. I have no idea whatsoever whether I am a good fit for them or vice versa, but I'm looking forward to worshipping with them and sharing with them. If some further conversation takes place, so be it. If not, so be it.
Well, after a few months of working very very little for Starbucks, it looks like I'll be putting the green apron on regularly once again. I will be starting work at a store in Redmond one week from tomorrow. When the manager called to offer me the position the other day, I mentioned my gig as a church starter in San Diego . . . his response was something like this: "That's pretty interesting - that's what I'm doing." Come again? "My wife and I moved to Seattle for just that reason." Hmmmm. I'm guessing that my new boss and I will be having some conversations. I'll share more as we do.
