A Sea Of Red

I've been underemployed for FAR too long now. I have an interview for a teaching position (7th grade English) on Wednesday evening. I know a current teacher at the school, and a former teacher there. I've substituted at the school; the principal will probably recognize me when I show up for the interview.

This job will seriously change things for the better around here, and I would really appreciate your prayers.

Praying for you in your interview.

I assume this is probably a school with which I have some familiarity. Praying from here in Houston.

Other side of the river at McKell. I'm sending a resume to Minford, and possibly one to the 'burg, but not holding my breath for anything there.

Thanks, guys -- I appreciate the prayers.

I'm afraid all of the people we knew who could help in the 'Burg are either dead or retired.

Those Kentuckians could certainly use some learnin'.

as someone in your situation, you are in my thoughts and prayers

I wish I knew you were looking, the school my kids attend in the 'burg was just looking for a middle school English teacher, but it's now been filled. What all do you teach?

We were referring to a different Burg.

There's more than one? Huh?

Yeah, there's a Burg in Ohio along the river where I grew up and Phoenix now lives. It is considerably smaller.

Did not get this one, though there are still two positions available at a different school. I appreciate the prayers, guys!

Thank the Lord for saving you from the wrong job! Still praying for the right opportunity.

Still praying for ya buddy. Garth Brooks said it best, Thank God for unanswered prayers

So maybe this is why I didn't get the teaching gig. . . .

A couple months ago, I got a phone call from someone at a church just on the other side of the river. Their pastor was resigning, and they needed someone to fill in right away, and they were looking for candidates longer term. I was set to preach, then got a call cancelling it, so I decided not to send a resume. They've called twice since then, so I sent the resume. I figured this was God's "still small voice" yelling at me in the megaphone to pay attention. So I've gt a few sermons on CD to send them, and they want to see me preach one Sunday at my home church.

It's not a big church, so this will be bivocational, but I've done that before and it's not a big deal. Just would appreciate prayers -- this church seems to be doing things the right way, and not grabbing the first interested warm body (like the last church I was hired at).

Praying in Dallas

Just a quick update: I'm preaching revival there at the end of the month (23-26). That Wednesday night after the service, they will be calling a business meeting for the church to vote on me. AND I preach at my home church this Sunday.

It sounds like you will be cramming on sermoneering. Awesome!

Awesome
