I’ve no idea how many people have ever read this blog.
Perhaps I’m just writing for my own entertainment. One thing I do know is that
I’ve mostly written about what I think about things and very little about what
I feel about them.
Part of being a member of my church is the idea that we are “called
to serve” in various positions by an inspired leader. The length of that
service can vary by quite a few years. Eventually, we are “released” and
someone else is called to serve. That release can come about by moving away,
dying, or just because it’s someone else’s turn to serve in that position. Most
of us muddle through new callings, gain in our skills, learn how to do things
right, then we’re called to yet other positions.
Right now I’m in the most difficult part of that process.
After being for a few years in a position I loved, someone else has grudgingly
accepted a call to that position. She seems to not care too much for it and is
talking about scaling it all back to suit her existing calendar. I’m finding it
hard to keep my mouth shut and am wondering how long it will take for her to
destroy what I (and my predecessors) built up.
I hope I get called to something else soon! Not having a position
is bad enough without this drama.
