Old job

April 2, 2024, Tuesday evening, 5:48pm, mountain standard time, mom’s condo in Evanston, Wyoming, USA. Saw my old Chaplain job in Ogden, Utah is open. It is listed as part time. There is also a part time job in Salt Lake City and a full time position in Utah County. Seeing the job openings opened up new possibilities in my mind. For the first time I see a clear path forward to working as a chaplain and slowing down professionally. I could live in Evanston with no house payment and travel to Utah three or four days a week. It wouldn’t be perfect, but it is definitely feasible. That realization reduced my anxiety considerably. Seeing a different path makes current choices seem arbitrary more than necessary. For that I am eternally thankful.
