The one saving grace for this is the ministry I'm involved with. We keep being forced to look inward, and forcing a 'death' to ourselves. When we step back and look at it, there's been some progress. There's also some really interesting opportunities coming down that road. But the big kicker is this 'leaving my job' thing. Walking out without a net forces any christian to consider God. I know LOTS of people in our demographic, or slightly younger who've done that, and are at some serious skids in their career, but they feel like that's where God called them (with one VERY notable exception... he fell away from the faith all together... :-( ) --Jason I hear ya about the ‘circling the airport’.

Really. It's encouraging to know I'm not alone, and it's also a good reminder to hear that I can't sit in my little corner and whine and cry about it. Thanks. I can totally relate, Jeff. Really.
