I've hinted at, though I've never really explained that I am only a part-time minister (we use the term "lay minister" in the International Community of Christ) and I have a full-time secular job.  Now, the project I have been on for almost nine years is ending, and I am looking for a new job.   Last week I attended a kind of job fair and had my first job interviews in ten years.  It's a scary thing that I guess you never get used to unless your one of those people who changes jobs every year or two.

I understand some airlines are angry that so many flights were canceled in Europe because of the volcano in Iceland and some experts are now saying it may not have been necessary, at lest not for that long a time.  Personally, if I had been flying to or from Europe, I would rather they error on the side of caution and delay flights an extra day than take a chance and find out they were wrong.  One thing I have wondered though is if any attempt was made to send people by train to countries where planes were still flying.  I know Europe has excellent train service and you can travel almost anywhere in Europe in a day or two by train. 


"Actually, we have no problems - we have opportunities for which we should give thanks…  An error we refuse to correct has many lives.  It takes courage to face one's own shortcomings, and wisdom to do something about them." ~Edgar Cayce
