On Saturday morning, I updated my Linkedin and added around 20 colleagues. This tool is becoming more and more important to me as we look for round two funding. For the rest of the day, my wife and I went on a date – lunch, shopping, dinner, shopping & more shopping. It was actually a lot of fun to spend this much quality time together, and we brought home a bunch of food I can eat!
Sunday was the usual church and football. On the football front, we’re quickly running out of games. This week was the Pro Bowl, next week is the Super Bowl.
Today, we were all the model of efficiency. All of us have large, single tasks to perform right now, keeping us all quiet and focused. Still, we did break for lunch and chat a bit. While we have no money donor yet, we have about four different options on the table right now. Something is bound to happen! I just hope it’s the right one.
As of today, I am back to full health. Darn! Now I’ll have to get back on the elliptical.
Wednesday starts a new call committee at church (round two of our pastor search). I’m not on this committee (yeah!), but I am the adviser for them, having been on the most recent call committee, and two previous ones. I think, beyond the obvious need for a smooth transition, there is a specific reason God has placed me as an adviser to this committee: should we go the Seminary route (and I believe we might), I am the most qualified person to help — I went there to interview Pastor Nate (and others) years ago, and I know how it works. I could teach someone how to “succeed,” and I am quite available to go, should the committee want that. Truth is, I love that Seminary, and have considered attending there myself from time to time.
