New Beginnings

I started this blog back in the last week of March. My first entry was a new start. I have gone about a month without a post which is of course way to long. I have a good excuse. It was not that I had nothing to say or that I was having writer's block. I had been out of work for nearly six months, and I needed to focus all of my energy on my job search. Well I have achieved success. I started a new job at a digital audio technology company this past week. I am now ready to return to speaking my mind about all things Catholic and life in general.

The new job is not a full-time ministry gig like my last job, but it is at least somewhat music related and I have already been able to have a couple very open and wonderful conversations about my faith and ministry. I have a horrendous commute (total of four hours a day on trains), but I am starting to get used to that. The hardest adjustment has been being on such a tight schedule. Funny thing about the train is that it will not wait for me. The nice thing for my wife is that she knows exactly when I am going to walk through the front door. Kind of a cool thing is that I have started praying the rosary on the way home.

Other new beginnings are happening with the kids. My oldest son has started high school and is running cross-country. He is being put through some hard workouts. He is going to be in great shape. It is a lot of fun to see him mature and find his way in life. My other son has started kindergarten and my oldest daughter will be starting pre-school. Big changes for all of us. My wife says that she and our youngest are going to go take up ski-diving or something.

So, I hope I have not bored you to tears with all this. I say that as if anyone is still checking my blog after a month. :) I will continue with regular updates now that I am not so distracted with looking for a job.

Grace and peace,
Scott
