So I'm once again gainfully employed. Another job in the landscaping/lawn maintenance field. I like it -- it's outside the whole day, and very physical work to counteract the 8 months or more I spend behind a desk each year. Last year I lost 60 pounds over the summer, and have since managed to find about 15 or so of those. I hope that I can repeat that feat (the losing) again.
It's funny, but every so often I meet people who ask me "why don't you work at camp, or something related to the church?" My reply: what makes you think I'm not working for the church doing this?
Sometimes I think that the whole 'professional clergy' idea contributes to the burnout that both individuals and the church in general is experiencing. But then, over the course of the summer I work that out of my system and am ready to get my butt behind a desk again.
hopefully, a little smaller butt next fall.
