[Application.Sent]

Well, stayed up late last Thursday night filling in the application for the editing position. It was 9 pages long! It took all night & then some to get through all of it. I had to update my resume a little as well. Finished faxing it early in the morning & emailed it to one of my previous editors who is part of the hiring process. Now it is back to the waiting game. I know he'll for sure be out of the office all this weekend & I probably won't hear anything until after Easter. It's just as well as this week will be busy enough getting ready for Sunday.

I have to say that I have mixed emotions about the holidays every year. Whenever Easter & Christmas roll around it is a great time to celebrate but a time of more work for me as well, since I work for a church. Things have slowed down over the years that I have been here & there's talk that we might even cancel our Sunday evening worship service next Easter so families can spend time celebrating together (wow, that's a novel concept). For this year, however, it will be business as usual.

I am looking forward to this year more than I have in recent past, though. It seems like my attitude has taken an upswing over the course of the last few weeks. I've been trying to look at my work here as if what I was currently involved with could be the last time I get to experience it. I took the youth on a Spring Break trip a couple of weeks ago & had a great time talking & hanging out with them. This Easter is looking to be the same kind of feeling - I'm considering that the real possibility is that this is my last Easter Sunday working on a church staff - at least as a music minister.
