Theo, I spoke with my H today briefly about the 3 folks who've offered email correspondence, and their different perspectives/backgrounds. He initially cringed about it, but actually is interested in being in contact with you first - and yes, about the job thing. Nothing else, friend, I understood your intent! (each person who offered contact has totally different things they wanted to bring to the table.)
For now, you win a tentative, trial friendship with my very smart and witty H! ... but not until the 2nd week in September. Family trip to the beach -yahoo! vacation! (complete with added bonus of inlaws! whee!) from 9/1-9/8 and no time to get connected until afterward. Hope that's okay with you, dear man. Will email H your info!
Forget the former things; do not dwell on the past. See, I am doing a new thing! Is 43:18-19
If it seems slow in coming, wait. It's on its way. It will come right on time. Hab 2:3
