conjectural navel gazing; jesus in lint form Don't lose any opportunity, however small, of being gentle toward everyone. Don't rely on your own efforts to succeed in your various undertakings, but only on God's help. Then rest in his care of you, confident that he will do what is best for you, provided that you will, for your part, work diligently but gently. I say "gently" because a tense diligence is harmful both to our heart and to our task and is not really diligence, but rather over eagerness and anxiety...I recommend you to God's mercy. I beg him, through that same mercy, to fill you with his love. - Francis de Sales home gallery forum faq September 16, 2005 again from pause cafe Hey y'all. I hope this find you well. I have been a busy boy lately. Catering, laying pavers for a sidewalk, building a fence...you know,the usual pastoral enterprises...have kept me hopping. I actually do need to get cracking on a few things. I have a project I am heading up for the Disseminary. Then there are yet more applications I am filling out. There is an interview on Monday for a position at a local street ministry that could be good. I also have been told that another grant has been submitted at the hospital. I knew this was going to be a possibility but did not want to say anything until I knew for certain. It is for another year-long position, but the focus would be trauma and disaster work. Oh, yeah, I am still in Chicago. I never made it down to NO or any of the other gulf area towns that need so much help right now. Sadly, my own "unemployment" means that I cannot leave Trish to shoulder the rent alone. I have to work. Volunteering for three weeks is not possible right now. | |
