My new schedule at work is an evening shift (3-11) followed by a 12 hour day (8a.m.-12 and 3-11). I get Tuesday, Friday, and Saturday off. So far I like the schedule. Lynchburg L’Arche is planning to open up a couple more homes, so I have talked to the director about becoming a home life coordinator (the person responsible for running of the home). I feel strongly about the need to develop community around the L’Arche philosophy, which the present coordinator doesn’t seem to be able to do. If I did take that role, it would probably be a year away. In the meantime I am learning so much about community and grace. It has been a tremendously stretching experience, and with Berly’s encouragement, I have grown personally this last year more than any other year of my life, I think.
More later,
Janathan
