It has been a while since I have updated the old blog. Been working a lot with the church and with the fruit company. Slowly getting used to having two jobs and having family so close by. Don't get me wrong. I am loving it.
It is definitely new to me. Having a secular job part time is a great thing. Sure, it takes me away from the church work that I love but it does open my eyes up to the world as it is lived by non preachers. Preachers really need to expose themselves to that regularly. It is so easy to start to look at life through the eyes of one who can study the Bible, pray, minister etc. full time. Most of the members of our churches work 30, 40, 50 hour weeks and we need to be sensitive to their situation.
Both times in my life I have had to work in secular jobs at the same time as working with the church the Lord has guided me to computer jobs. First in Toowoomba with Hunts Computers and the Windows environment in the 80s. Second, now with Apple and the OS X environment. I am so blessed that the secular work I do is something that I am passionate about.
Meeting lots of new people. Lots of young people. I am the old guy at work, though no one treats me like the old guy. Learning lots of new skills and having my mind and heart stretched.
Looking forward to seeing what God has planned for me each day.
