Not blogging for a while is that when you do you think you have to find something terribly meaningful to start the ball rolling again. But I don't have anything at the moment (well nothing that will not lose me my job) so I'm sorry to disappoint.

On the job front, we are about to go on strike. I think. But I hope it will be sorted out. It's a very tricky thing and sets everyone against each other. I was hugely encouraged by emails from fellow christian journalists who are praying for the situation here. We all need wisdom dealing with our bosses and separating righteous anger from just plain.. anger. And I need to know what the right thing is to do. I keep reading the bit from Micah.
"This is what the Lord your God requires of you
To act justly, love mercy and walk humbly with your God."

Sounds so simple put like that, but trying to apply it to our work situation is not quite that simple. But God is here, even in our newsroom. I know that. I'm trying to pray for our management, and for the union, for wisdom and freedom from fear. I really want God to be in my actions if I have to stand on a picket line next week. But I so don't want to have to do it.
