Gotribe, to answer your question, I have not sent my 2 page counter-proposal which I posted on the 8th. I was waiting to see if anyone would comment, but so far, only 6 people have downloaded it and I've only gotten 1 response to it,

I'm not sure what to make of it. The way I see it, either everyone's bored with this thread, or I didn't say anything of consequence one way or another and so no one feels the need to comment, or I've somehow, unintentionally, so offended everyone that they don't want to talk to me anymore. I'm choosing to air on the side of optimism and guess that everyone is out doing something important or that everything I said is so unarguable or so plain and simple, that no one feels it important enough to comment on.

I'll probably send a copy via e-mail tonight and then take a few tomorrow night to B.C.M., then I have to wait until all 4 of them have read it and considered it (let us hope they consider it) and then they'll undoubtebly tell me I made this too complicated, and then I think they'll accept it and then we just have to wait for the entire B.C.M. to vote. This is assuming that Council will accept my counter-proposal even though it's 2 weeks after the applications were due. I feel assured that if I get past council with this, then I'll be on council next year with the title of "Director of Evangelism" which is a fancy way of saying I'll be doing what I've done this last semester and attending the Council meetings, but hey, there's always the chance I'll get to preach a few nights next year.

I thank you very much for your help and the interest you've shown, it is encourageing.
