Day One

Today was my first "real" day at my new job. Starting an afterschool program from scratch is such a big challenge. It seems like everything I have to do between now and January is an equally critical task. And to tell you the truth, I couldn't be more happier about it! The last year at the church was an exercise in futility. Despite the great results we were seeing in the young people, it was obvious that the senior pastor had already set his mind on shutting this work down. After spending the better part of the last year "waiting for the axe to fall" at the church, it's great to have a big task to sink my teeth into. This new job is just what the doctor ordered!
