So Close...

Well...I guess it is my turn to update since I haven't done it in about a month. I had to re-read my last blog just so I could remember what all happened since the last time I posted. But, it's not three months like some people...cough, Laura.

After the wedding I took part in for two of my friends I returned to Oklahoma City, as I'm sure you already know, to continue my visits with an extremely good physical therapist. When I went in to see Uncle John for a post-op check-up last month, he said that I was a few weeks ahead of schedule in my recovery, and he gave much of that credit to Laura. Anyways, I'm back in OKC to see if I can get further ahead and try to make the extremely long recovery process as short as possible.

Laura says that blogs are boring if there aren't any pictures, but since I don't have my camera, allow me to paint you a picture. Ok, picture a big HDTV, ok...it's on (surprise). Now picture a nice comfortable couch and a lazy bum lying across it, staring at the TV. That's me...sometimes. I'm thankful for having therapy a couple of times a week to get me out of the house. Therapy takes up most of my afternoon which is good...because I usually sleep most of the morning. So I actually don't get a lot of time in front of the TV. Other than that, I've been doing a lot of cooking. My repertoire grew exponentially in a matter of days; who knew I could read a recipe!? I'm really slow at it, and my coordination is a little off, but it gets the job done and it has been edible every time. So, I'll be able to survive as a single man whenever I'm on my own.

That brings me to my next point. The job search has intensified in the last couple of weeks. I ended up getting a job offer from the MB church in Inman, but it is not my ideal opportunity. It is a part time job that would pay $1000 a month. That means that i would have to find another job and work on tying loose ends together just to get by. The offer is still there but I'm waiting and praying that God has a door open in Enid. I'm still one of two possible candidates at the MB church in Enid and I have an interview there on Thursday evening (8/21). I've also sent a resume up the northwest part of the country to Ferndale, WA. There's an MB church up there that is without a youth pastor. It also happens to be minutes away from a fellow youth pastor and good friend of mine who's wedding I took part in at the end of July. I think that would be a great situation as well. So, maybe something will start coming together up there as well. Other than that, there's not much going on in that area. I'll be sure to post as soon as more developments happen.

I think that's all for know...love you all!
