To Ms. Laura Ingram at Fox News & my fellow job-seekers, Let us Help each other today and every day!

I had the opportunity to send an email to Laura Ingram At Fox News for a specific favor and try to give a level of encouragement to both those who are currently underemployed, but also for the Nation as a whole.
But today would have been my 19th anniversary (02/04/2006) as a permanent deacon the Latin Rite of of the Roman Catholic Church. Although I am no longer in active ministry, I wanted to share some thoughts that many of us are experiencing as once again, we are entering economic turbulence not of our own making but what collectively we will endure individually, as a community and as a Nation.
But finally more importantly, I just want to share this small prayer every time we go into a phone screen or a job interview: "Lord, is there no place you cannot send me? But with Your holy will, I will go where you send me!"
Almighty God knows you and I are out of work, but can we trust in ourselves and Him, we will remain visible to all, rather then retreating into our regret, our countless replaying of the what ifs, the coulda-shoulda-woulda syndrome and then finally giving up for good!
I do not know the time of God's will in my own life or yours today or going forward, but His will is not for us to languish but rather to be pillars of support in kindness, charity and yes LOVE.
My arms are open enough to tell you that you are a child of God and worth everything. We just have to convince each other that we are worth it.
