Don't be too harsh on yourself, Stewie. When I was looking for work last spring, I had more than my fair share of letdowns. I had a couple of leads I was really interested in and had two or three near-perfect interviews for, but still didn't get the offer.

God will put you where He wants you when He is ready. Don't give up!

Yeah pat, don't be so hard on yourself. Confidence and attitude goes a very long way in an interview.

If it makes you feel better, I had a total of 18 in person interviews, 63 phone interviews, and God knows how many email replies all from emailing/mailing my resume out 350+ times. The things you can learn from cleaning out your old hard drive...

And in all of those interviews there were only 2-3 jobs which I would have really wanted. But if you pay me I will do anything (see penguin).

But in the end the company I work for now saw my resume on monster and just decided to give me a call out of all the other people on there. So don't quit, unless it's smoking, then quit...and be addicted to the patches like me!

I have a prayer request of my own to add the the list. Meredith and I will be flying to Buffalo, New York this evening to deal with a pressing family matter. We'll be driving back on Sunday evening.

Please pray for our safe travel and for a quick resolution of the problems leading to our visit. Thank you, and God bless!

My best friend Steve's buddy Kenny passed away unexpectedly yesterday morning. They have been close friends since middle school and Steve is having a very hard time with it.

Kenny was 26 years old and got married less than a year ago. His wife Kathrina is 22 and they have a 6 month old son named Kaden. He was an amazingly warm man who had a gift for walking up to complete strangers and making them feel like they had known him for years. He led many people towards Christ, including Steve.

Prayers would definitely be appreciated for his family and friends. Thanks you guys.

I know I keep on asking everyone for prayer for everything I do, but I'm sick of not working and I really would like this job. So if you could pray for me, my interview is next Thurs. Thanks, X

Mere and I have a prayer request of our own that we'd like to throw out there. Since we'll be living in TR for at least a couple more years, we've decided to buy a house and start building some equity. This will help us buy a much nicer house when we start looking for our "career" jobs in a couple years.

We've found one particular house that we are very fond of. It is listed at an incredibly low price, and we can easily do all the work to it that needs to be done without enslaving ourselves to the house. That will help us build equity and make the house "our own."

The house is a bank foreclosure and they're in a hurry to get it off their hands. It originally hit the market at $90,000 and has fallen all the way to $59,900. We're going to offer $55,000 and ask the seller to help us with the closing costs. That will help us put more money on the down payment, lowering our monthly payment and building instant equity.

If at all possible, please pray that the house won't sell out from under us and that the seller will accept our bid and help with closing costs. I can't tell you how much Meredith and I appreciate your prayers!

That, combined with two Cisco enterprise-class wireless access points, should pretty much cover my networking needs! LAN party, anyone? -b0b (...might be a bit obsessed.)
