My wife's friend's dad just joined the Navy and he is in his 60's. He's a dentist and I guess they had a dentist shortage.

The interview yesterday went well...I'm moving forward in the process with that opportunity. I have another interview today for a supplementary opportunity that can really boost things financially as well

So in what can only be described as a surprise turn, I am now being considered for no less than 7 different opportunities in various arenas, including another interview on Thursday afternoon in Virginia Beach.

You asked for prayer.

People prayed.

That ain't no surprise.

People praying isnt the surprise...the surprise is that things are happening to a pretty substantial degree is more of a surprise...to me at least...to those of you who have been praying (and are much better prayers than I am) it should not come as a surprise

Prayer is that powerful. I think it is possible that God gets a bit insulted when we act surprised when he answers our prayer requests.

Like I tell my Honors students applying for graduate schools, you only need ONE acceptance letter; and the same holds true for job offers. I hope and pray you get one soon, BJ.

BJ, maybe this is too old school and the world doesn't work this way any more, but I thought I'd share this advice that I heard a long time ago.

If you're unemployed, you should spend 8 hours a day, 5 days a week, putting in job applications. And follow up on those applications every few weeks.

That is not too old school. But you do have to come up for air or it can become grueling based on my past experience.

Houston has grown from a metro of around 3.5 million 15-20 years ago to over 6 million today. Great paying jobs and still relatively low cost of living (though it is beginning to click up) make Houston a magnet for jobseekers. Energy clients primarily pay my bills.
