Well, big news: I'm now an entry level Systems Engineer with ACSS!! I officially transition on the 13th.
Now that we got the saferoute release 1 done and submitted for TSO (and then approved for TSO), I'm now busy working on converting the 181C MOPS to the new transponder test bench. Easier to say than to do. There's alot of work to be done and alot of roadblocks to overcome, but I'm working on it and it WILL be completed. It's definitely a big challenge, but also one I'm up to.
Not much has really changed or happened here, though. I did go to Alaska for Judith and Ian's wedding and that was an awesome time :). I really enjoyed seeing them again, and of course seeing them get married.
My church just selected our new senior pastor, and all that's left is to officially confirm him. I don't get to vote on this as I'm not yet a member, but that's okay. I'm just glad we've got a new senior pastor so I'll KNOW who's teaching on Sunday.
I'm also working lighting at somaNorth on sunday evenings, and am enjoying it. I've also started to develop some good and strong friendships with folks there. Nothing really as far as the ladies go, though. Still, it's all good as its in the Lords hands. I'm just sick of being malcontent in my singleness. I don't like being single (that's not changing) and very much would like to be on the clear road towards marriage, but I'm sick and tired of being sick and tired about my seeming lack of progress along that road. I simply need peace over this, lest I truly turn bitter over my situation. So, as one can imagine, I've been in much prayer over this. As a result, I've stumbled across the great puritan theologian, John Owen. This man pursued COMMUNION with Christ, and was a stalwart pillar of the faith during his time. I see in his example the right way to pursue relationship with God: communion with Him. That's what I'm seeking, and know I will find. No other word fits this concept other than communion. Relationship doesn't cut it, it really doesn't, but communion DOES.
