Hope

Today I am feeling hopeful.

God has promised that He will take care of us and I know that I can trust Him!

I am starting to realize how much I was getting stuck in a rut in my current job. There are so many possibilities out there to explore.

I am also starting to wonder if I have compromised too much of what I believe about what the Church should be and do, in order to be able to work within the institution. I have loved working at Chapel Hill, but there is much about the way this church operates that I don't think is either biblical or the best. However, I have pushed these thoughts aside whenever they came up over the last couple of years because some of these same ways of doing things were essential to the continuing existence of of my job position. And for that matter, pretty much any paid ministry position within the Church.

AJAX

Today I finished up the bulletin for next Sunday and worked on the BLL and started the presentation layer for the Open Source Church Management System named Hill CHMS I am working on building for Chapel Hill.

I need to AJAX enable the site before I can go much further. I want admins to be able to start typing in a last name and have a list of choices appear below, with the list getting smaller as more letters are typed. I know this is possible with AJAX, I just don't know how hard it would be to actually do. If I can't do this right away I will settle for a list that populates when a button is hit.

I need to think of this in terms of versions, with version one just working and later versions having more features.

Job interview

I had a job interview this morning and it looks like they are going to hire me. This is a part time job to go along with my work at Chapel Hill. A big thank you to everyone who prayed for me or suggested job leads.
