"Do not fear mistakes; there are none." -- Miles Davis
Mood: a little bit subdued
Listening to: Bob and Tom Show
Over the past few weeks, a lot of unfortunate things have been happening, either at the workplace or in my coworkers' personal lives: Pretty heavy stuff. I don't really have much more to say about it right now, except to direct you to Letters to God: Please help my coworkers.

I just submitted a prayer request at K-LOVE.com
Son- my heart goes out o you as I truly know how you take on the suffering of others.
You do have to be somewhat careful in your job as people can be offended and the outcome will not be what you want or intend.
However, having said that be true to yourself.
I know at one time you used to pull out your pocket Bible and read it on your own time.
You can still do that; what you can't do is inflict it on someone else.
If its the right time they will ask you.It may be that you are only to plant a seed.
Lead by example.
Stay calm and clear and focused. Be as positive as you can without being crass. Be careful because sometimes humor can be misunderstood.
We are called to be a light from which the Spirit shines out from us.
I pray the Holy spirit annoints you and the others in this situation.
As far as the woman whose father took his life I would suggest a support group and grief counseling.
I know as well as you should know from my experiences these things don't just " happen". This was brewing for some time and she shouldn't take it on as her guilt.
Had i been successful in my own attempt my regret would be that my children would have carried some kind of burden that was not theirs to carry.
Its hard to explain the despondency that can overtake someone in that circumstance.
You can't fix this for her or others you can just stand by and be a friend.
There is a lesson the Creator is wanting them to get and within it is their own struggle with the Evil One.
It is a supernatural battle and by praying in earnest you have handed it over to the One who can fight it for us.
That is the miracle of the Ressurection. He fought that battle for us and all we have to do is submit it over to Him.
Once you do it don't take it back.
I don't believe there are coincidences. i believe it all happens for some reason and there are always lessons for each of us.
Give it to Him Dan and continue to be the light.
Love you.Mom
