I had a meeting today with RK and told him that I had decided to resign. Last night I was commissioned by the child care board to fire one of the teachers. I was being sent into the situation under false pretenses and I told the pastor that I would be resigning because I think what the board is asking me to do is wrong. This job has become increasingly more like a business and I have no desire to run a business and I don’t have the skills to run a business that makes money. I can’t create relationships with families and then hound them for money I know they don’t have. It also became clear to me that the church needed an advocate in this position and that is not something I can provide. I do not and will not attend this church and I cannot with a clear conscience recommend this church to child care families. All these reasons have led me to once again begin the search for a job (that pays and offers insurance). I will stay here until they find a suitable replacement or until I can’t wait anymore. I don’t know where I will end up but I am hoping that I can find something that allows me to spend more time focusing on our Saturday night worship gathering and our community.

Grace and peace to all of you, my friends
