Day Three Unemployment

The beginning of the week has been full of a lot of adult business. Bank, post office, doctor visit, car mechanics, Fed Ex, and the grocery store. Now that I'm on day three of unemployment, I can start the real job search. This job search is the best kind because there are no resumes, no interviews, and no suit and tie. My goal here is to go into One Cup (where I hope to be hired) and just spend time reading and drinking coffee. I've already had two encounters with the owner and he now knows my name. This is crucial, people rarely hire you in this town if they don't know you. Here is their myspace page where you can check out some photos.

In other news, my best friend Clint Pitcock just booked at flight home from Oregon. Why does he have a one way ticket from Oregon to Oklahoma you ask? Well, When Mallory and I visit in May he is going to ride the train with us back to Oregon. The dude is a champion, I gave him some dates and that same day he booked a flight. Sounds like true freedom to me. Clint has been living a servants life for the past nine months at Teen Challenge, being an example to young men who need direction. He's not doing it for the money (I don't think he gets paid), not for fame (most of his old friends don't even know where he is), and not for success (at least not by the world's standards). He's there serving because God would have him doing nothing less.

Here is an off-the-subject excerpt from The Knowledge of the Holy by A.W. Tozar

Science observes how the power of God operate, discovers a regular pattern somewhere and fixes it as a "law." The uniformity of God's activities in His creation enables the scientist to to predict the course of natural phenomena. The trustworthiness of God's behavior in His world is the foundation of all scientific truth. Upon it the scientists rests his faith and from there he goes on to achieve great and useful things in such fields as those of navigation, chemistry, agriculture, and the medical arts.

Religion, on the other hand, goes back of nature to God. It is concerned not with the footprints of God along the paths of creation, but with the One who treads those paths. Religion is interested primarily in the One who is the source of all things, the master of every phenomenon.
