Please Continue Praying... It's Working!

I just got an e-mail to schedule an interview for a job. A change of venue would do wonders for my soul, as my current workplace is the cause of a great deal of my angst. Please continue to pray for me!

MadPriest said...: There will be a lot of our friends who will fully empathise with you on this, AH. It must be a heck of a large boat that we are all in. In fact, you pray for me and I'll pray for you.; February 4, 2010 at 2:13 AM
Rev. Raggsdale said...: Madpriest,

Deal. But eventually I'm hoping to break into your line of work over on this side of the pond.; February 4, 2010 at 12:25 PM
Paul said...: Prayers offered. May you be guided to where you need to be and attended by blessings on the way.; February 4, 2010 at 1:07 PM

I thought you were already in it. So you are obviously a natural for the job.; February 9, 2010 at 2:35 AM
Rev. Raggsdale said...: No... I'm still working my way to get to the point to go through discernment... long road. It's why I am in school right now getting the undergraduate degree. I'm more of an armchair theologian, no formal training but full of opinions (among other things) :); February 9, 2010 at 2:57 PM
MadPriest said...: It was your aura rather than your intellect that made me assume you were a pastor already.; February 9, 2010 at 3:48 PM

Rules of engagement

Rule of Engagement... :)
Before we go any further here, I want to lay down some ground rules. As long as everyone follows these, we're golden. If you don't you will be zapped.
1. Remain civil. Mamma always says "If you can't say anything nice, don't say anything at all!" If you find yourself getting angry by something I say, or something someone else posts, step back, breathe, say a prayer, then continue.
2. This is a Christian blog, so no profanity. I'll even zap my own posts if they break this rule.
3. All viewpoints are welcome, however see rule #1. I welcome all to post as they feel lead by the Spirit, but I will not tolerate rudeness or abuse in any form. Other than these three simple rules, Welcome Aboard!
