My brother was cremated. There's no grave, but there is a memorial. It's almost exactly 1000 miles away.
A friend died about six years ago. He has a grave nearby, and I've gone there to visit a few times over the years. There is a distinct sense that he isn't there anymore. One could surmise that to be a good thing.

My dad still does a double take when he smells the tobacco my grandfather smoked in his pipe and he died over 25 years ago.

I understand that Trisha, but the jobs that I have been doing are high stress, high turnover jobs and not always the best pay. You can't put 100% into a job every day that you don't enjoy. I have been praying for a promotion and/or a change so that I can find a job that I enjoy. I guess I just can't find understand who is understanding what I am going through.

Interview was okay but harder than I thought.
They called and said they would not offer me the position. So I will keep looking.
My wish list (besides the job)
- upgrade my digital camera.
- go on vacation

Looking for jobs is always hard, but especially for me. Even in good times it is hard for me to secure a position.
I have been feeling quite anxious lately. I am hoping that this will change real soon!

Since Thanksgiving is coming up, what are some real things you are thankful for this year? Think about it. I sure will.
I am thankful for soooo much.
* Family who is willing to help out, even without having been asked.
* Beautiful children who know and fear the L-rd with all their hearts.
* A great boyfriend who is willing to teach me and be patient as I'm growing to think about others before myself.
* A church family who would do just about anything in the world for their brothers.
* An amazing G-d who continues to bless me and those around me. Even in these times I know that G-d has His hands upon each and everyone of us and that no matter what happens we will ALWAYS get through it.

I am thankful for having direction in my life. I know what I am supposed to do.

I am thankful for...
my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ for dying on a cross to save a wretch like me.
my loving wife who has stuck with me through thick and thin, especially when I didn't deserve it.
two daughters who are dear to me.
a grandson that adores me.
a good job.
a roof over my head.
food on the table.
the ability to sing and play stringed instruments and trumpets to praise Him.
a compassionate heart for helping people in need.
the Word.
friends, and especially these forums.

I'm thankful for food, clothing, shelter, and transportation. These are things we Americans tend to take for granted, but a period of extended unemployment has reminded me that we shouldn't.
I'm also thankful for my church's jobs ministry, which has provided not only a place to seek employment and receive encouragement but also a place to give back by volunteering.
I'm thankful for a church where I hear the uncompromised Gospel of Jesus Christ preached every weekend, and I'm thankful for the small group I joined this fall.
Most especially, I'm thankful for our Lord Jesus' death on the cross for my sins, bearing the punishment I so richly deserve. \o/

I'm thankful for family, friends, a home, a job, food and clean water... so many things. I'm also grateful that the Lord is still at work in me! Healing, teaching and helping me grow.

(((Mike))) Do you have some vacation time coming up soon? In the midst of all that anxiety it can be tough finding a job because of it. At the same time I think trying to find another one is making you feel anxious. Not sure if how you personally feel about this but try being in prayer about learning more about the Sabbath. If you feel the slightest lead let me know.
Hi Tink! Thank you for sharing! That's a wonderful response to thankfulness. The days are getting closer! 
I had Wednesday off for Veteran's Day. I still have one more vacation day left until the end of the year, then I get another week come January.

Hi Trishy, Happy Sunday to you! Yes, I will probably do a 3 day weekend with that one last vacation day.

Hey Trish. Yeah it's been awhile... I've been crazy busy. Work, moving my Godmother from one apartment to another, kids and grandkids... yup, busy.
How about you? Been up to anything fun?
