"Never let the odds keep you from pursuing what you know in your heart you were meant to do." - Satchel Paige
This quote might suggest that I keep my hopes up for a job in chaplaincy. In Austin there are about 3 chaplain jobs for every 35 ordained persons seeking them. And those three job openings don't happen too frequently. It's a tough market. I dunno what to do. I am applying for "other" positions in random fields that I think my experience and education could generalize to. So far, nothing. This sucks.
At least Amy called yesterday to have me fill-in for her at the hospital a couple days doing chaplaincy and then for several half-days formulating advance directives. Also, Mark called to have me fill his pulpit at the end of November. So I still get to keep my "feet-wet" as it were. Thanks be to God for that.
