Well, this is interesting.. In my reading with Archangel Michael a few days ago, I asked him about his choice for IT guru and he said that he wanted one more member of the team to see the post who has not yet responded. He asked me to post the call one more time. I am a puppet on a string so I repost a shortened version of the original post.
How interesting life is when one consents to be guided by the unseens.
Casey is leaving to manage the Bridge Fund’s IT responsibilities. We need six people to take his place.
That was a joke.
Casey has managed this site, the needs of the BF, a job and a family for the past year. The 2012 Scenario acknowledges our great debt of gratitude to him and everyone connected with it extends him our warmest thanks.
We do need a new IT Guru and team to manage the site’s expansion. I’ve been told by the one who owns this site that we’re to remain in WordPress but we do want to see if we can create alternate section pages if anyone knows how to do that in WordPress.
