While he's still looking for a pastoral job, he has no trouble waiting tables. (And he has some pretty funny blog entires about his experiences, as well.) He applied for anything and everything. And he wasn't too prideful to take that waiter job.<BR/><BR/>I would think a man like Haggard would have a substantial savings, and while it's hard to dip into those things (especially when you have kids) everyone else has to do it when the need arises. So why not him?stephaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14760765831975016535noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-749955731953911627.post-18944755907609834862007-08-27T18:51:00.000-05:002007-08-27T18:51:00.000-05:00I think that you have identified the problem John....I think that you have identified the problem John.
