William and Kate's Simple Prayer


William and Kate wrote a prayer for their wedding. "God our Father, we thank you for our families; for the love that we share and for the joy of our marriage. In the business of each day keep our eyes fixed on what is real and important in life and help us to be generous with our time and love and energy. Strengthened by our union, help us to serve and comfort those who suffer. We ask this in the spirit of Jesus Christ. Amen.

I found this prayer simple yet something I think all people need to pray. "In the business of each day keep our eyes fixed on what is real and important in life and help us to be generous with our time and love and energy."

Job Seach

Recently I was put on work restriction by my orthopedist. Since birth I have had issues with my right hip and well it started acting up again. Right now I am only allowed to stand or walk for short periods of time. So needless to say I had to quit my job at David's Bridal and try to find some type of office work. In the mist of searching for work I got called by a temp agency I have been with since November to do a job that would last through May. Well they hired too many temps and let 10 of 15 people go. I was one of the people let go after two weeks. So I have been back to looking for jobs.

So as I look for jobs I have noticed there are so many people who try to scam job seekers. Theses people are on line, in news papers, and feel like they are just everywhere. Not to mention the fact that people say the economy is picking up, while I look around a still there are no jobs to be found. I can apply to 7 jobs a day and amp up my resume as I think of things. Yet calls don't come in. I wonder things like do people look at the fact that I used to be a minister and not like it? Does having a masters keep me from getting jobs? What else can I do to my resume to help myself get a job? Am I over educated?

All I am asking for is to start over. I don't care if I make less than I did as a youth minister. I just need someone to give me a chance.
