My colleague’s sister-in-law lost her husband of five months on Saturday. He was 43, went out for a bike ride, collapsed and died in the parking lot of a heart attack. He leaves his 31 year old widow and a 1 year old son.
Not Christians. She, understandably, cannot stop weeping.
Another praise and a thanks for hanging in with me through the last year as we’ve prayed for Stargazer. No job yet, BUT, he got the encouragement I’ve been praying for on Saturday. He’s now an adjunct professor at our local JC.
It means nothing except he’s on the rolls to be a substitute professor (did anyone ever have a substitute professor in college? Not me). But, he can now write the title on his resume–which has got to help.
Today he’s applying for more jobs and answering some questions from a college pal who is trying hard to get him hired. He works in the industry in San Francisco and has been hounding Stargazer–he’s also the one who provided the book that has been very helpful. I can’t remember the title, but it has to do with applying for work in the technology industry. It has a couple hundred pages of problem sets applicants need to be able to answer.
Probably not all of them, but Stargazer is a hard worker and thorough. He’ll master the book, I’m sure.
Pray for a co-worker of mine, S, who has minor eye surgery scheduled today (diabetes related). Supposed to be quick and easy, but she’s understandably stressed as she’ll be awake with a local anesthesia only. Hopefully they’ll at least sedate her. Pray for a calm spirit and for an easy, successful surgery.
I asked if they could combine it with some Lasik as long as they were in there so she’d at least emerge with 20/20 vision and not need to wear glasses, but she didn’t think so. 😉
Sad, michelle. We just read a story on a little boy named Luke. He has a very rare form of cancer and suffers from much pain. We know his grandparents, who are very active in the pro-life movement. His mother also went to the same school as our daughters. All prayers would be welcome for Luke, I know.

Co-worker’s surgery went well — they have to do the other eye, too, in a few weeks, but that one should be even easier.
