It's like canoeing to Japan with only a spoon for a paddle.

What am I referring to? Web development, obviously! Today I met with one of my supervisors to discuss what my training will entail, and how much new information I'm to consume in the next couple of months. The title of this post pretty much sums it up.

Prayers for Oliver

This afternoon a mudslide hit my old hometown (and present home of my brother), Oliver, BC. It sounds pretty fierce. A wall of mud from a blocked up creek in the mountains came crashing down the mountainside, sweeping away more than 10 homes, and destroying many acres of vineyards and orchards. But God is merciful: there are no reports of injuries or deaths. Pray for Oliver, if you think of it. This sort of destruction will take years to restore. Check out CTV for more.

Musical Chairs

The last few months I've been playing musical chairs with employment. I've gone from construction to educational assistant to security to Prairie South sub desk to Academic Services. And now, one more switch. It wasn't an easy decision, but I've made it. Starting first thing in July, I'll be assistant to the Webmaster at Briercrest College & Seminary, to eventually take the main seat myself. It will be a few rigorous months of training because of the steep learning curve, but I'm very excited! The new position allows me to pay for Seminary as I study, and to gain some pretty awesome experience that will allow me to make money while I wait for that proverbial academic post in the future... whenever that will be. Anyways, web development is fun, so I'm looking forward to digging in.
