    Job Interview Jan 21, 1pm

    Thanks! I SO appreciate your prayers. I won't hear how it went right away, she said, but more more editing work should come their way shortly. That is what they want me for, apparently.

    Thanks again!

    Job Interview Jan 21, 1pm

    Hello everyone,

    Please pray for my job interview between 1-3pm today for contract work as a Technical Writer.

    I need to make a good grade on my technical hour-long test. This is my major concern.

    Thanks for taking the time to offer up prayers for a fellow gser.

    Would you contribute to a Mrs. W fund?

    in About The Way

    Well, ok, I'll contribute my 2 cents worth on this thread again.

    The two reasons why I would not consider financially supporting Mrs. Wierwille is, drumroll:

    1) She is not my mother, grandmother, or relative

    2) She does not belong to my denomination or go to my church

    In Timothy, the instructions are layed out in a very simple manner. The widows are to be taken care of by their families. If they have no family living or if the family neglects to take care of them, then it says that the church should take care of them.

    Now, I know some people would say that "the church" means any Christian since there were no denominations back then, but I disagree. The reason is because in our culture churches take care of their own. When I was in the way, we took care of each other, not people in the roman catholic church. And, the catholics didn't take care of us. That's just the way it works in our society.

    So, since she is not a relative and does not go to or support my church (which is non-denominational, by the way), there really is no reason for me to feel obligated to provide for her, either Biblically or culturally.

    And, no, I would not like to contribute to a piano or anything IN the resthome where she is staying. There are plenty of starving people in the world who could use a good meal and I would be more inclined to give to a cause like that.

    Shelter for Folks Leaving the Way-Transition House

    Thank you, Ginger, for the comforting words. My grandmother was within days of being 95. I loved her dearly, and she, me.

    I would like to get together with all the folks who want to seriously talk about doing something to help people who are leaving, but don't know how to setup a private chat session. I don't think I have the authority to invite people to a private session on this site.

    If anyone else knows how to do it, please let us know the email address, the password, and then time. Then, all who CAN attend can begin a dialogue.

    Thanks,

    WB

    I know some people don't want to be found and Jane might be one of those. Who knows. Maybe we can send a msg. with The Evan that we don't want any money (LOL) because so many people used to hit her up for tuition! We LOVE YOU, Jane and just want to reconnect. icon_smile.gif:)-->
