Well, I figure that since I whined about my job a couple weeks back, I should update that scene. I won't say I've necessarily had easy weeks since then, but definitely less stressful. I've been able to pace myself more reasonably. I thought I was going to be out of the office part or all of today, and it turns out that I'll be there - which means I scheduled it very lightly. I don't want to get my hopes up, but I may be able to glide quietly into my weekend.
I drove to Olympia to meet with a guy who does collegiate ministry for my denomination. It was a very different conversation than I expected, and quite encouraging. This guy works for "the system" but he's not a system machine, and from the sounds of things, he looks for ways to break the system - actually, he looks for ways of exposing the brokenness that's already there, even if he has to stir up a little trouble in doing so. People like this are so very few and far between in my stream of faith that I'm always refreshed to meet a kindred spirit. I'm looking forward to some continued conversations about partnering together on a project . . . more to come . . .
