Well, if you've kept up with my dilema, you know I recently had only one church that had contacted me so far about pursuing a call. Well, no longer!! I got contacted today by Church Much Nearer to My Family, and it's in a city where P can almost certainly find a job and not have a monster commute. I believe his company actually has an office in this city, so he could just transfer. This is so good, because the longer I have to think about it, the more I'm thinking my childhood issues with poor, small towns could be a big problem if I tried to work in an even smaller and poorer town than the ones I grew up in. I'm still open to a face-to-face interview, but, well, this new opportunity is really the kind I was hoping for all along, good for the entire family, I think.
If any of you have had an experience where you've had to choose between a job that is more certain, and waiting for a call that is less so, I'd love to hear about it and the outcome.

What I'm Reading
We baptize our children. Then what? This book defines how we can shape our lives as baptized disciples.
What I'm Knitting
Knitting this for me in a camel color. (Yes, really. I'm *still* working on it!)

What I have found is that God is surprisingly sympathetic to the needs of my family, even when I least expect it. Blessings on the exciting opportunity!
