did i spell that title correctly? probably not. doesn’t matter. i think i feel like pinoccio when he first discovered he didn’t have strings on…excited, but nervous…or dumbo when he first found himself in the middle of the air, before he realized he could fly…surprised, but forced to flap…or a macy’s day balloon as it discovers that some jokester has snipped all of his strings, and he’ll soon be soaring above the whole of manhattan with no direction or hope for rescue…uh…yeah.

so…i’ve been released from my duties at the crossing church, in buford ga. money issues. i guess it should not have come as a shock: i knew the church was hurting financially. but it was still a surprising sucker-punch feeling when i heard the words, “buddy, i gotta let you go,” coming from the mouth of a great friend.

and so now what? the crossing is taking care of me financially, so i’m not complaining. i just wonder what the next step is. am i supposed to find another job in the area and keep attending the crossing? am i supposed to find another church somewhere far far away and do the same thing there? maybe i should start my own church in a city that i’ve always dreamed of living in. what lies ahead is dark right now. dark and cloudy, with no fog lights or clarity. just God’s promise that i’ll know what i need to know when i need to know it.

listen to some good music this week for me. chris thile would be nice. his older stuff that sounds alot like his time with nickel creek. also, if you get a chance, go buy the new wilco sky blue sky. it’s got a more “old guy” feel to most of it, but i am almost 30…so i guess i like it.

blog if you got em
