For some reason I’m feeling incredibly invigorated. It’s an odd feeling really, especially considering how I feel about my job.

I’ve realised lately that after all the big projects finish up in January-March that my position here will no longer be needed. By and large I don’t do all that much on a daily basis except act as a sounding board.

I know, I know, that’s what management is there for, but I can’t help thinking of how 40K/year could do some real good in the world. After all, we’re a church, we do a lot of work around the world. My 40K/year could:

- build 10 houses in Brazil - buy a church building in Ukraine - pay the staff for a church network of 6000 churches, taking care of 2M people, in Mozambique for 3 months - feed the 300 homeless every week in downtown Toronto for 6 months

And the list goes on.

But in the midst of that I’m feeling really amazing. Realising that I can do a much better job than I’ve been doing the last few weeks. It’s not one of those times where I feel reinvigorated because there’s a new idea for me to sink my teeth into.

No, not that at all.

I just feel great about the fact that I’m at work. I can’t say how much I’ll be posting today, but the fact that I feel happy to be at work is a wake up call. This shouldn’t be a once-a-year event.
