January

So mid January finds me in the usual place. Although, not entirely. I am posting from the secretary's desk at RCCC cause I'm helping them answer phones and what not. So, while I don't have a job I am working. Huh. Not having a full time job has turned out to be a sort of blessing. I have time to get odds and ends done as well having oodles of time to relax. I do have heartburn though. eck. The greatest benefit I find is my availability for involvement at church. Let me tell you, if i was still working at the "Ancient Army", there is no way I could be this involved. I really and truly enjoy being invested in the lives of these kids and youth and the adults too! While I still look for open opportunities to at least be part-time somewhere, I relish this time as there will probably never again be a time where I can do as I please. Also notable is that I have gotten back into reading the Word every day. Now, I realize it's only been like 10 days, but it's still good news for me.

While wedding plans for others continue to abound I have to say it is comforting to hear of how other single persons feel, especially the male of the species. I was talking with my friend Bryon the other day and he feels the same pressure and social judgement that I do. Very few of his friends are without counterparts and it was nice to hear someone else complain of the annoyances that coinside with such dire peril. Such as rarely seeing said friend or finding that they are different from their "old/single" self. At any rate I guess misery loves company and while I wouldn't consider myself miserable, it's still nice not to feel alone.
