Ups and Downs of Hope and Optimism I had been feeling pretty good earlier today.  Went to my parent's Church,  and heard a pretty good sermon.  Then we ate at my parent's house while watching football ,  and then came home.   I sent out some more emails to people that might know of some job leads,  and I had written some stuff this morning that had me feeling hopeful.  But a couple of messages tonight with "Sorry,  nothing I know of,  and I start getting a more full-fledged version of "I may be facing a long, hellish haul".  And so I'm on the downdip of the rollercoaster ride that is the process of trying to find something new. I wake up each morning since Thursday and can't believe that I'm facing this.  Not knowing how long this is going to be.  Afraid that noone is needing to add people now,  or that if they were,  they don't want someone 46 years old,  or they can't pay nearly enough.  Oh, man,  I need a walk.  I might be back later if I'm not too exhausted from all the panic that seeps in and then goes underground --- only to surface inevitably when I wake up in the middle of the night or wake up in the morning and I'm not heading out to the office. comment [] 7:28:07 PM

Help me if you can! All you fellow webloggers and often also "Web Developer types":  If you know of something in Web development,  and more ideally in a theological/Church related setting,  please point them at me,  or give me a contact.  I'm in Nashville, TN,  but will go just about anywhere if the price and attraction and "mission" is right.  comment [] 4:53:44 PM

Is There A Great Good Place For Me? Later this week (probably Wednesday),  I'll be talking to a friend of mine in Cincinnati who directs the operations of a place called "Old St. George",  which is housed in a former Catholic Church structure.  It operates now as a meeting place,  a coffeehouse/cybercafe,  and hosts weddings and concerts,  as well as the offices of a number of ecumenical organizations.   I still lived in Cincinnati when Larry began to be involved there,  when the first group of people got funding to buy the Church property and began renovating,  putting in sound and security systems,  and the like.  Larry once ran a coffeehouse/bookstore in the SanFrancisco area.  He is also a Seminary graduate.   We hooked up for the first time about a year before the Old St. George startup at a meeting of Ecunet users in Dayton, Ohio in October 1992.
