Fearless By Max Lucado
Well in between making mad dashes all over town to get the kids enrolled in school I've been reading Max Lucado's newest book Fearless. This book was so insightful. Max Lucado is a well know Christian author, yet until now I had not had the chance to read any of his work. Well let me say my first introduction to Max Lucado was no disappointment. In the book Fearless he describes the everyday woes that tend to bind and trap people from moving from one level to the next. Nearly every fear man faces is addressed with a scriptural way of Escape. I think this book is so deep because Max Lucado is not afraid to expose his own fears and he describes every scenario with such detailed feeling and comparison that you can't help but to relate. On a scale of one through five, I give Fearless 5 stars.

It's The First of The Month
On the welfare side.....
Anyone receiving assistance knows how important the first of the month is. Enough said. Remember this old school video?
Thank God It's Friday
Can't wait till Friday
On the welfare side.....
This was my gas tank Thursday evening. I had to pick the kids up from their summer program and hope and pray to make it home. They had softball practice that unfortunately we didn't have enough gas to make it to. Saturday is the last game of the season let's hope missing this practice didn't hurt their A game.
We were disappointed, but kept ourselves occupied and we knew it would all be alright because Friday was comin'.
Weight Loss
On The Welfare Side.....Every Wednesday the local food bank distributes free food boxes at a community center. I only pick up a box if food is low at home and that usually happens at the end of the month. Today was such a case. I waited in a line for close to 2 hours. During that time many people began cutting in the line. I thought this was unfair, but remained ethical in my approach. While waiting in line an additional truck pulled up and dropped off cases of a Green Tea Weight Loss Drink. I guess it was something that didn't sell at the Supermarket. The authorities in charge at the community asked people to form a line in order to get a case of the Weight Loss Drink. I opted to remain in the food line, since there isn't much my kids can do with a weight loss drink. People began taking more than one case and the authorities called out to them to return the extra cases. The people just kept running down the street. Wow- my only hope was that the community center officials wouldn't get frustrated and just say "no food will be passed out today." They didn't and even though my back felt like it took forever, eventually I received my box. It contained: day old bread, lots of chocolate, lemonade, flavored water, some unmarked cans and juice. The kids are excited about the chocolate and lemonade and I am thankful.

In order to be more employable we need more employable skills. We have already discussed the popularity of the medical field. Obtaining training in the medical field is a way to sure up your employment. But what other skills can we gain in order to bolster our resume? The answer; language. Having the credential of being fluent in another language besides your native tongue, definately makes you more interesting to potential emplyers. And just like the medical field is a hot job trend, spanish is a hot language trend. It can also compliment your training in any field, including medical. After the 2000 census, hispanics were identified as the largest number of minorities in the United States. When we think of unreported illegal aliens this number is actually greater than reported. Many customer service jobs are requesting job prospects fluent in spanish only need apply. Just read your local paper or online job posting board. As an adult with pressing obligations, class time dedicated to spanish lessons may not be realistic for you. There are now learn at home options available to you.
