It has been a lazy summer (outside of work for me). Everybody around is either becoming all politcal (with the election coming up), national (with the Olympics), or regressing to being teenagers (just because it is late summer).
Not too much has been going on. My wife and I have moved twice and I hope for the last time for awhile. We are back down in our home town staying with some friends of ours who have graciously open there house to use for the forseeable future. It has been a major stress reliever knowing that we have a place to stay and do not have to worry about stretching our budget to the breaking point.
Barb and I did have a nice day to relax yesterday. Tuesday is my day off so we went to the mall to check out The Village. It was a great movie. I usually enjoy Shyamalan's story-telling ability but this was particularly good. The story was excellent and the actors did a wonderful job of drawing you into their world. It does start fast and took alittle time for me to figure out what was going on but after about 30 minutes or so, I was bale to settle in and enjoy the story. I highly recommend it and may go see it again. Now if I can just talk Barb into going to see The Bourne Supremacy or I, Robot.
In an unrelated story, I am still looking for full-time employment. The one church which I was farthest along in the process with declined my application deciding to go with another candidate. So that essentially puts me back at square one in my search for a pastoral position. The good news is that my name is getting around and I am being asked to fill in as pulpit supply more often. I have sent out some more resumes but I have not heard anything back as yet. Maybe things will work our where I am right now but it is a long time to wait (late fall).
I am also giving a tour of Gettysburg in a couple weeks. If it is going to be as hot as it has been the past couple days, that is going to make a long trip. It will be nice to do something fun and to take my mind off of job related problems. The World Boardgaming Championships are also this week. I will be going Friday and Saturday. Maybe able to get a few pick-up games in after the ASLSK tourney.
