Tomorrow will be a little oasis in the “Desert of Unemployment.” I will be substituting for a teacher’s assistant at a nearby preschool. I’m not sure if I’ll remember how to function in a work environment after 101 days in a row of not working! Even though I secured a position as a substitute teacher… Read More 101 Days of Unemployment
Just wanted to give you an update on our job search. Thank you, everyone, for praying for us. We have been struggling with discouragement, especially during weeks when we have no job interviews.

The nut rants on and on for 18 pages chalk full of conspiracy theories, assorted grievances, hypocritical moralizing and pseudo-juvenile taunting while neglecting to mention the substance of the current confrontation–Iran’s illegal and destabilizing nuclear program. It’s a real wonder that anyone in the… Read More Ahmadinejad letter
