So much other stuff went on this weekend, I neglected to mention I saw Narnia on Friday! Beautiful, is the best I can describe it. Could be that I've been a fan of the books since I was a child, and to see them come to life so perfectly right before my eyes was awesome. As Lucy touched the snowy branches through the wardrobe, I wanted to cry, it was just how I imagined it would be. The symbolism is way cool if you actually know what's going on. But my question is would non-christians who know nothing of the bible even get it? Maybe not, but I do think that subconsciously the seed is planted, they may not even realize it.
God job's a no go, and I feel good about it. Last thing I want to do is be stuck in another mind numbingly boring job of data entry. I am sure I could have done it, but it probably would have gotten boring after a while just as my current position has. I venture to think that probably not as boring as life insurance since I would have some element of interest in the work I would have been doing, but they didn't think I'd be a good fit, and I trust they know what they are doing. They certainly didn't come to the decision quickly it was well thought through so it's all good. So in thinking through the process when they came to the decision that they did not want to hire me for the paying position, here they have all this information on me, of what I've done over my 20+ years as a christian and where my spiritual journey has taken me, which is quite a lot. They then offer me a coaching position, which is a huge deal, and flattering. Since for the most part volunteers are valued at VCC, big time. They probably run the majority of most ministries, as you will find in most successfully ran churches. So right now every ounce of my being is telling me not to do it, that I'm not there yet, and that it would take up more time than I am able to give. But I haven't given it the respectible amount of prayer that, that kind of decision needs, so I shall pray before I make my final decision. God knows what he's doing better than I. Kind of bummed I didn't get the job, but I'm ok.

I'm really sorry you didn't get the job, but you sound SO healthy about it!! You have a purpose, and this job was NOT it at this time.
I saw Narnia today. It was a great movie. I have never read the books and as an atheist I still enjoyed it. In fact, if my neighbor hadn't told me that the lion was supposed to represent jesus, I never would have even picked up on that. I know I didn't get any of the other bible refrences, as I have absolutely no bible knowledge. That said, I still think it was a beautiful movie, about nothing more than some kids and their adventure. Just a perspective from a non-believer that the movie can stand alone without all the religious schtuff.

I saw it on opening day too. Unfortunately, the theater was full of church groups and they were rude. Can you believe that? Actually, you probably can. Lots of chatting going on, and someone actually ate a stinky sandwich behind us. Good times.
Luckily, I got to see and hear most of the movie and really liked it. Will always like the books the best, but the movie definitely did the book justice. I'm taking Liam to see it next week (we've read the books already).
