Overeager much?

Today I came into the office and found 2 messages waiting from me from the same person. This person happened to call my cell phone twice - once yesterday afternoon and once this morning before I got to work. So that makes 4 phone calls in less than 24 hours. Now, had this been a church member I would understand the many phone calls - at least if there was some serious emergency.

But it wasn't. It was someone from another church who had been matched to my resume by the denominations EHarmony machine and wanted to find out if I was still looking/interested. And this person called twice and left a message (indicating she wanted to talk to me about my ministry) at my church. Seriously. Poor form!

Thank goodness it was the church secretary who took the messages and not a phone volunteer and the secretary thought the woman was a telemarketer.

First Conversation

Monday night I had my first conversation with a church. Of course, when I say conversation I really mean listening experience. I listened to the chair of a PNC talk for about an hour, interjecting here and there when I could. It was nice - I'm going to talk to the whole pnc sometime next week I think.

I've also sent out 3 sermon cds and may send out another one - not sure about this church, got to do some background research before I fill out their consulting firm's form (yes, they are using a consulting firm to help call (or perhaps it is hire) a new pastor).

Nothing yet ubber exciting but there's still lots of time for God to kick me in the butt.
