Give me my props!

My pal Heidi (link to the right of the screen) gave me some kind words on her blog a few days ago.

Heidi- You didn't need to say anything. But thanks.

Never know- I may need your encourgement soon. ;)

And we are off

Using a vacation day yestdsday, I began my job hunt, and was offered a job I'll be begining in about 2 hours or so. Thanks all that prayed. I'll give you more details later.

Time to pound the pavement again..... *sigh*

I thought going to work for a company that had been around for 130 odd years would be safe, but today Rhodes Furinture, the parent company of John M Smyth Homemakers, annouced they are closing 15 stores- including all 5 in the greater Chicago area. So- once again, I am updating my resume and getting ready for the job hunt again! joy. So I ask you all to lift me up in prayer.

1) Pray for me as I am homemakers, as it may become a depressing place to be. I am the only Chistian in my office, so pray that I will be salt and light in the dark time for all of us.

2) Pray the I will find something else quickly. We are still running the store as normal for the rest of the month, but August 1st the liquddater will be in change, and should be staying open for 60-120 days. It would be nice to have a job before then.

Thanks everyone. Talk to you soon

Love Life

No, this is not a post about the train wreck that is my history of romantic entanglements, but rather my rediscovery a couple of days ago at a used CD store of one of my favorite albums that I had not been able to listen to in years: Charlie Peacock's "Love Life."

I have not heard this album in close to 10 years. The last time I owned it was before I was homeless, so it has been quite a while since I had heard it. I was a bit worried it would not live up to my memories, but I need not have worried. It was as great as I remembered it. The orginal cylpiso influnced "In The Light is still way way better then the more well know DC Talk version. A have spend quite a few hours reenjoying this one of the past few days.

Down Time

I just thought I would let the four of you that read this not to expect to see much in the way of posting for the next week or two. According to the geeks at Best Buy, my motherboard has blown its compresser, so it has a hard time staying on for more then a few minutes at a time. It gets a bit aggravating to spend 10 minutes working on a post, only to have your computer crash and lose everything. I should be replacing it in the next week or two. So if you want to know whats going on in my life for the next week or two- you may have to give me a call.
