Thursday? Round Up?

May 14th, 2009 . by Cary

Well, maybe. We’ll see.

First, a very specific request for prayer. I submitted my resume for a project manager position, and would really appreciate everyone’s prayers/well wishes/best-of-lucks in being considered for the position. Thank you.

Second, the other day I mentioned the “Pedophile Protection Act” and today in Chuck Norris’ column he mentioned a site to go to to show your opposition to it. That web site is on CitizenLink and I would appreciate it if you would take the time to hop over there and add your opinion.

Third, there is a young man who has submitted artwork for a Google contest. He needs your vote – can you help him out? His name is Jadon Mann. According to the information e-mail I received from my sister, LC, he:

is a top 40 finalist out of 28,000 entrants in the Doodle for Google contest! He has already won a trip to New York City and now has a chance to get to the finals, where he could win an Apple laptop and if he makes it all the way, he gets a $15000 scholarship for college and $25000 for his school! He needs your vote – go to http://www.google.com/doodle4google/vote.html and vote for his drawing in the grade 7-9 tab, he’s Region 8 and his drawing is for clean energy.

    Cary, please ask Jadon not to do anything that will promote Google. He should be using another search engine… I like Dogpile.
    Remember, Google is the outfit that didn’t honor our Veterans on November 11.

    GB – I don’t have direct communication with Jadon. I am aware that Google is not the most upstanding of corporate citizens; however, I am not asking you to vote for Google – I’m asking for support for Jadon. He is showing promise and he has the chance to show his talent on a national level – that is what I’m trying to promote. No offense meant to anyone who was offended by Google’s lack of honor.

    I don’t use Google myself, I use goodsearch.com as my primary search engine.

    We will pray.

    The pictures look Great!

    And I will hasten over and vote.

    1. You got my prayers, dude!
    2. I’d vote for that kid, he advocates NUCLEAR POWER.

    Joe – thanks.

    BZ – Thanks, also.

    So far, nothing on the job front. I still have faith, though. Something is out there, waiting for me.
