part_time_jobs

sometimes getting up at 4:40 am to go to work at a job that is not the most fulfilling seems pointless in the grand scheme of things (I am a CAMPUS MINISTER after all...oohs and ahhs for the fancy title please). but then here's the weird thing...i get into at least one amazingly deep philosophical/spiritual discussion with ramon every week...i get to try to explain things like campus ministry, fund raising, and intentionally living in dorchester to folks who don't have a lot of, if any, experience with that, which helps me scrub out the christianese from my vocabulary. and i get invited to parties (like the one tonight) where these relationships get to grow outside of work. which is all pretty cool. and so sometimes i am actually grateful for this silly part-time job.
