I remember when you pondered whether or not you should have went to San Francisco and I've often thought, why not? I also thought about signing with Blackwater and spending a couple of years in Iraq. When I started to get serious about it, Morgan came along and changed everything....including my decision to go to Iraq. MCM ~ Thanks for the visit. I still ponder starting over at my age and you know the kind of b.s. that goes on in our neck of the woods. As far as you question about something whacking you in the head that you want being the voice of God. Well, I don't have an answer for you. What did stick out for me was that you said it was something that you want. I think this is where the difference is. I think that God supplies our needs, but not our greeds. I think that you have to decide if it is something that you need or something that you want. If it is something that you want and you do manage to get it, make sure that you praise God for the blessing of abundance. I read a post recently <a href="http://www.conversiondiary.com/2008/05/looking-for-tow-truck-driver.html" rel="nofollow">here</a> that was very true. Sometimes it's not all about us.

I really liked your thoughts about how your church is going. Mine has been going the same way the past few years. You do have a weird schedule that most human beings wouldn't want to work. I can think of twenty agencies that would hire someone like you tomorrow, and give you better pay, hours and the challenge you're looking for. So. . . what are you waiting for, man?! Go for it! :-) P.S. If you really want something and it keeps smacking you in the head, is that God talking? Hmmm.....just a thought. Hi, Mike.

I'm in a job that I hate though, with no where to advance, at low wages, totally beneath my skill level, and bored out of my mind. I've been seeking jobs elsewhere for 18 months now and haven't gotten many responses, so I'm giving myself until June 30th to find another job in Portland, otherwise I will start the paperwork process for a private contractor position in Afghanistan or Iraq. I'm a single man in need of adventure. If I stay in my job, I'll only become neurotic like the women I work with. That's the worst place to be. In another topic, I need to know if you plan to come to the retreat on Memorial Day weekend. Friday's the day for the early bird registration. Let me know. Thanks.

Here's my take on being a small town cop. It's not a bad life. It's the closest thing that I have ever found to being self employed. I can do as much or as little as I want and there is no pressure. We don't get too many calls but we do get some. Mostly it's boring. I think your son is in for a life changing experience if he chooses this field. It's not all bad though. Oh yeah, WAY preferable to being an Air Marshall. That is mostly ALL boring. Glenn ~ It really can be awesome! Erin ~ Yep, I'm looking at fourteen years unless I decide to stay around just to piss some people off *cheeky grin* I don't mind not being able to figure out where I am now as much as I used to. I am kind of comfortable with my own skin and I'm having a great time in the search. It's just so confusing sometimes. Kathy ~ Wow!! Thanks for visiting. Same comments as I gave to Erin. Thanks for the congrats. He is such a dream come true and I do savor each and every moment. I know what you mean about time too cause the last seven months have been kind of a blur. HW ~ I really felt that that graphic gave a good picture of "what I was doing". Glad you liked it. To all ~ Thanks for your visits and support. It's comforting to know that somewhere along the way, we are all experiencing roughly the same thing at different levels. Jane ~ Thanks for popping in. Here’s my take on being a small town cop.
