I just looked at the stats from this here blog-thingy. It’s been a few months since I last scribbled some kind of nonsense. So, I thought that I’d take a minute to catch us all up on what’s happened since then.
I’m still slicing bread and packing cookies at Giant Eagle part time. It gives me something to do and adds a couple extra bucks. I am really looking forward to the day I can move on from there. Not that it’s a bad job. It’s not. But, at best it’s filling the interim until I get to what I’ve really been working toward.
And, that is ordination as a priest in the Episcopal Church. I’ve been working toward that for the last year. And, it’ll likely be another year or so before ordination could take place. I’m currently in the pre-interview part of the process. I spent 6 months meeting with a Discernment Committee. After that I had a weekend retreat where I sat for another 4 interviews. I have just completed all of the paperwork that’s required. Now, I’m waiting for a call from the Bishop’s office to set up an interview with the Bishop. She can give me a thumbs up or thumbs down. If it’s thumbs up I become a postulant and move on. Thumbs down, I get used to slicing bread and packing cookies. Here’s hoping for UP!
I’m also currently helping with a Bible study at St. Barnabas. This year we’re taking a trip through the Book of Revelation entitled “Revelation: Prophecy, NOT Prediction.” The study is open in person and on Zoom. If you would be interested reply to this post and I’ll get you more info.
Other than that there’s not a whole lot happening. Doing some odd renovation on the house, enjoying spending time with my wife, and other assorted old people things.
Hopefully it won’t be months until I get back. Maybe I’ll even have something worthwhile to write. Wouldn’t that be special?
