Thanks, Guys...
Brad's family is the one needing prayers. His wife works for a health care provider outfit that wrings people out then buries them...she's fighting some medical problems of her own and they threaten her w/ termination if she goes "light duty" or something akin to that.
American enterprises have lost their soul.
As for my situation... it is what it is. When young, we cast about for what we find to be a passion, look for guidance in choosing a career and then we "pays our money and takes our chances."
My choice and the later life investment in advanced credentialing, just "changed" like so many career areas.
I'm not alone. All around me, young men, women and older folks without a lot of education are loosing the "fall back" jobs. People with long standing careers and plenty of education are losing jobs as their companies close or cut back severly and elminate long standing employees.
Of course, I'm scared. I'm sure everyone facing what lies ahead in the unknown is scared.
There are moments when your prayers will take up the slack and I loose momentary faith. I start blaming myself for my situation. Perhaps I didn't do enough...or should've expanded my search area regardless of my 87 yr old widowed Dad...etc, etc.
IT's easy to second-guess ourselves, even to the point where the devil starts to make us question our relationship with Jesus...
Sometimes it's our Christian friends, questioning our "walk" and ascribing sin as the reason we're not 'basking in His glory and riches."
Christ never promised a rose garden. He promised SALVATION. Those who fare well, I thank the Lord for their fortune.
I claim His promise of Salvation...not that I'll have full storehouses here on earth.
So thanks for those prayers. I can use all I can get for there are times when doubt weighs in on me like an oak tree crashing in the forest.
But this isn't about some ole fart coined the phrase "Doc Nock" cause he couldn't figure out how to orient a nock on heavy run-out grain of tapered ash arrows.
This is about the fact ...well, I edited that. This isn't the place for politicizing. Suffice it to say then it's about ALL those who have lost and will continue to loose. IT's about how a majority of voters have lost the will to "do for self" and have succumbed to taking an easier path of letting others do for them.
This is about a great country that has gotten a bit off track and lost sight of God's role in making us great. And then we wonder why...
Let's keep praying for one another, there are so many among us who never post their needs. There are so many of our neighbors and people just around the corner we don't take time to know...that need us desperately.
This group, some names have changed and gone on, but this Prayer/Concerns forum and members herein, Terry included and those who support this website, have earned my loyalty here.
I've been in this mess a few years back and if it were not for what ministering I got here, and resulting email friendships, phone support, etc, I don't know if I'd have made it.
I have to keep on just to "pay it forward" because the debt of gratitude for the fellow believers who've held me up, is endless.
Thank you, Brad. Your situation over-shadow's mine tremendously. As do so many others with families.
YOU guys/gals ARE my family... so thank you from the bottom of my heart.
Keep the Son in your eyes!
