Well, over the weekend, our crew at work went from six to four. That is right! Four people to work 13 hours per day/ seven days per week. And we are never supposed to leave the place empty. So that means that we need people to cover for breaks. Oh, and did I forget to mention that NONE of our supervisors know what we do?
I have been trying to REDUCE my hours, especially with Christmas coming. But do you think that is going to happen? And we also have the Lead Barista who talks more than he works, even thought he would have you believe that the place would close down without him. My response when someone asks if the Lead is working is: "He is on the clock and in the store."
I have been trying to get out of the place, but I am usually beat by the time I get off work. But I have been checking out the deployment page and there is something that looks good upstate! It would be nice in that it would be close to Nick's congregation too! I am guardedly optimistic. And no, I am not interested in the congregation just because it is logistically optimum. They also seem like a good place for ministry. Our lease here is up in April, my contact with my current congregation is up in July. Sometimes time just flies! Seems like we just moved and that I just signed a contact. But hopefully god has some things in store for us. We really need some things to finally go right!
Peace to all..

I will keep you in my prayers and thoughts that the upstate opportunity is as good as it seems and that it becomes a real opportunity for you!
