Employment

My husband was offered the position I mentioned in my previous post. Thank God! While it was convenient for us that he was at home to help me for the first few days after my surgery, we are so happy to have that burden lifted. A thank you to any that remembered us in prayer.

A Job, Hopefully!

My husband may have a job! He's supposed to report to a company tomorrow morning. For those who believe in prayer, I'd be so grateful if you'd say a prayer for us. Thanks and I'll keep you posted.

A Quick Note and Favorite Quote

I know it has been more than a week since I posted, but I had surgery last week. Saw my surgeon this morning and everything is going well.

I have to dash out for errands soon, but I wanted to do a quick post.

I collect quotes... have for years...here's one of my favorites;

"The truth is incontrovertible, malice may attack it, ignorance may deride it, but in the end; there it is." -- Winston Churchill

Amen.

Congratulations to my Daughter!

Fair warning -- I'm going to brag about my child in this post. :)

My daughter just finished her freshman year of college. She's an English major with an European History minor (I know...I've heard it many times from family and friends...waste of time, waste of money, waste of a good mind, etc.). Her concentration is Writing and Literacy, the most practical of all the concentrations.

This semester her writing professor personally escorted her to the campus Writing Center to recommend her as a candidate for a Writing Fellowship. This graduate-level seminar trains students to become writing tutors. Upon successful completion of the program, she will be certified as a writing tutor and begin working at the Writing Center.

They take a maximum of 12 students for the school year. Two professor recommendations were required, along with her writing portfolio and an interview. As I said, this is a graduate-level program and she was told, at the start of the process, that they rarely accept a freshman student.

She was notified this week that she had been accepted for the fellowship. So, I'd like to take this opportunity to publicly congratulate her efforts. Well done, sweetheart! I'm so excited for you and I know you will do well. The faculty that interviewed her described her cover letter as "amazing". I wonder what they'd have said if they knew she'd written it in 15-20 minutes. :) And while I know I'm biased, it really was *that* good.

Thank you, readers, for indulging me. :)
