Inside the Mind of a Nathan

A couple years ago, I applied for a position as a director of education. One of the application questions asked me to write a statement of faith. I thought it was worth sharing here:

I'm not interested in more self-pitying drivel, but that seems to be the only subject I have these days. Why so much self pity? I just want to keep starting new things and leaving them once they're old. Perhaps I'm searching for something. My assumption is that I'm searching for the unobtainable "perfect" story or some such nonsense, and this probably out of fear.
