Youre very welcome my friend. But, dont thank me, the thanks goes to God. Last week when I ordered this, He laid your name on my heart and I was sensed that you needed encouragement, though I didnt know why. When I read your post about the trip possibly being cancelled, it all made sense. How awesome it is to know that God knows our needs before we do and I am so honored He let me be a part of His blessing.
I know things get a little crazy at work sometimes. It is hard to explain to those on the outside just how unique the world of church ministry can be. It is on the one hand incredibly rewarding and fulfilling, but on the other completely draining and at times overwhelming. Having done full time, part time and now volunteer ministry, I know just how difficult it can be.
October was pastor appreciation month, but really we should be thanking ALL of our church staff for the hard work, time and effort they put in to make the ministries of the church run more smoothly and effectively. So Jordan, thanks for all you do. Youll never know just how many lives you truly impact both at work and here on the Dis. Whatever path God leads you down, I know that you will be used mightily. I hope things work out for your trip and I have faith that whatever comes your way, you will find the joy that comes form serving Him. When its all crazy and life is spinning around, just remember that your happy place is only a dream away.
That feat was accomplished through an evil genius plan. First I used a web-bot to capture the IP address Jordan posts from. Then using a trace route command, I isolated the router his ISP uses. Next, using an inverse hierarchy algorithm, I traced his subnet to the local switch office. From there a distance vector spectral analyzer gave his exact distance from the switch office. Using a GPS overlay, I then entered all possible coordinates into a relational database, extrapolated all pertinent details from his trip reports and cross referenced them with the entered data, and finally pinpointed his EXACT location. It was then that I made the shocking discovery that Jordan lived on goat farm in south central Peru. With international shipping rates being what they are, I decided the best course of action would be to send it to the return address from the card he sent me for winning the Trivia contest and figured they could forward it to him.
