I haven't posted about work lately for a number of reasons. One of them might be because I've been getting more fulfillment through the things I've been involved with at church lately. I've particularly enjoyed my involvement with our 20-30 something age group people at church.

When Lesley and I moved here, we didn't know anybody. Well, I guess technically Lesley "knew" the people she interviewed with and has gotten to know her coworkers. But, with me working at home in a new city, I didn't have a lot of people to interact with. At least at first.

One of the things we wanted to establish that we hadn't been able to establish while we lived in Irving was a regular habit of going to church. And that's all either of us had ever done - just gone to church for Sunday worship - it hadn't ever been a big part of our lives.

So, after we moved here, we found a nearby church and went. We liked the service, the pastor, and the building. And we met some fellow Texans and other people our age who were involved with the church. We continued to attend and, despite changes in the pastor and the building, decided to join. We got more involved with this church, attending a weekly small group and participating in a lot of activities with people in our age group.

Eventually, I decided to help coordinate more activities for people in our age group and have enjoyed it. The number of people in our age group at church has grown quite a bit since we first started attending and it's been fun to be a part of it. Participating with this group and helping to plan activities and guide our growth has actually been rather fulfilling. I continue to find myself in roles like this and wonder if it will lead to anything more. For now, I guess, it's just something to occupy myself with outside of work.
