Today was my dad's first day of work . . . at his new job!! After being a self-employed actor and writer for the past 25 years, he's finally succom to the rat race. White shirt and tie, a daily commuting to Salt Lake, 8:00 to 5:00 p.m. work hours, but what about that steady pay check! This seriously is the start of a new life for my family. A couple months ago the church called Dad to offer him a position in the audio visual department. He and my mom thought and prayed a lot about it. Dad didn't want to feel like he'd given up on his dreams, but I told him he's lived his dreams. He's done it all. This doesn't mean he's giving up. He's still going to publish The Baseball Box, and he's still going to make his screenplays into movies. It just means he's experiencing something new and something more stable (!) for the future. Well, he went ahead and interviewed, and they hired him. Dad is now a senior producer for the church, putting his creative juices and acting experience to good use in making movies. I can't wait to hear about his first day! (And Mom is so excited to have good health insurance now, she decided to go roller skating this morning!)

WooHoo! He'll do great!
And tell your mom that after roller skating she should try rock climbing without ropes. It's such a rush!
Good for him! My dad really has enjoyed working for the Church too. The steady income is a nice feature!
Hooray!
NO WAY! That is awesome and you are right, this will be a whole new life for your family with a steady paycheck. Well that is so great, tell him I am happy for him. Your Mom is hilarious!
Hooray for brother bruce the producer!
