some of you know that he finished with doulos at the end of august and has been a bit adrift, wondering what to pursue next. he has some definite passions, but finding a job that fits those for now, to pay the bills and all, has been a bit of a head-scratcher.
then a couple of days ago, leah mentioned that art, her surrogate grandpa who makes dulcimers, is looking for help, as he has more work than he knows what to do with. nick went in yesterday to have a chat with him, and it's a go!
nick is going to be learning how to use a router to make rustic looking signs like the one behind us that says 'artfolk'. that's the name of the shop, named after art, of course, but also his folksy artistic things he makes.
i'm so excited for the things nick will be learning to make. after he masters the sign-making, he'll also be learning about gouge carving, instrument making, and who knows what else! he loves building things with his hands and especially loves wood-working, so this is really a perfect job for him with endless possibilities. i'm also excited for his opportunity to work alongside art all day long. from what i hear about the guy, he's really neat.

Yes! Awesome - what fun, to have something you like to do that also pays bills!
Next thing he can learn is to hand carve you a home (when you wed, that is). I'm excited that he is pursuing something he will enjoy.
AWESOME!! God is INCREDIBLY good!!! That job sounds like the perfect thing for Nick.
Dulcimers?!???!!? Hmmmm...I LIKE that!
