A Bit of Ranting and Blabbering

Even though I don't plan on writing a blog every single day, I do feel like writing another blog entry today, even though I don't really know what to write.

For the most part my day was just like every other day. Waking up at 4 A.M. and making the hour long trip to work. This makes for a really long and tiring day at work, especially when I am tyring to go all week without soda. (need....caffeine....)

Throughout the day I made a few 5 minute trips to my website http://www.EternalTruthMinistry.com to see what has been going on, but sadly, it has been the same as the past several months. For the most part there has been no participation by Christians. The main purpose of the website is to be a witness to others and build each other up to be disciples of Jesus. But instead all that we have been doing is arguing with atheists and other "Christians" that hold really wrong doctrines. Why does the only discussion have to be about arguments and debates? I got tired of those months ago.

I want Christians to come on and speak with each other to lift each other up and share what we have learned about the Lord so that others may benefit. I didn't think that this would be too much to ask of a person who loves the Lord and loves teaching others to just participate sometimes. Why do Christians have to avoid such things and just focus on themselves?

This is probably just me ranting but it does get annoying and really depressing, putting a lot of time and effort into something that people don't care about, and those that might care a little bit are only out to destroy Christianity. I shouldn't get this depressed about it, since it is The Lord's work, I felt God called me to create this ministry so I know that He will lead it. Unless the time for our website has gone, but until God shows me that I will keep it going. Unless, maybe this is God telling me to just end the website... I don't know for sure.

Anyway, in the meantime ETM will stay up and running.

In better news, a few days ago I got an email from a hiring company that saw a resume that I had posted and they feel that I am qualified for a position that they had. I'm always interested in keeping my options open so I looked into it, but was turned off by the 3 - 6 month contract with a chance of permanent hiring. I replied to the person offering the job and gave a courteous reply saying that I was not comfortable taking a job with out a guarantee.

I got an email back the next day, so I was still considering the job, but didn't know what to reply. Until today, when Danae called me saying that this company was still trying to contact me. So I decided to give the guy a call, and I'm glad that I did. The job that they want me for is a web designing job for Compassion International. The pay is a little bit better, working a lot closer to home, in a better environment, where I will not have to be afraid for doing something like sharing the gospel message with a co-worker. It will be an interesting journey, but one that is not to be taken lightly, but taken with a lot of prayer.

So if you think about me pray for me and my decision please. There are a lot things to consider, including benefits and other things more than money or distance to work.

This is enough of my ranting and blabbering for the day. Tune in again for another exciting blog from Jon!
