First,thank you all for your thoughts and prayers.Never doubt the awesome power of Almighty God.
Yesterday I turned in my fuel card and the office keys.I got up about 3AM,as usual and started looking through the ads online.God led me to open an ad on Craigslist for home delivery of the Chicago Tribune.The hours are about 3:30-6:30,7 days a week.The pay isn’t much less than I was making working 50+ hours doing transport.
I called the number listed to leave a message and a man answered the phone.We talked for about 20 minutes and I assured him of my dedication and committment.He said I was the first response to the ad and I start my new job at 3AM Monday.
Being part time,I can still look for something additional during the day,but having a steady income means we’ll make it.I refuse to believe its anything short of a miracle.
I’ll begin posting my report soon.I started posting on e-bay last night and will put some more up today.Check the link below then click on ‘see other items’ to see how I got my nickname.The coffee tastes better this morning.God Bless all of you.I’ll be back soon.
Here’s the link:

I want my kids to be as proactive as Pete! Something’s wrong with my generation; I find most to be incredibly reactive and whiney.

Dropping some links. http://www.rangerup.com/the45.html which I was led to by http://nooneofanyimport.wordpress.com/ which I linked from the sidebar here. Read the article past acceptance into West Point; by the end the t-shirt will make a lot of sense.

In celebration of Pete holstering up getting the job thing dealt with, I made a bouquet of roses http://www.instructables.com/id/Bacon-Roses/ . I consider, with the state of our country’s affairs, making bacon roses is a life-skill.

Now, that bouquet is a Hoot!

This is great news! I am impressed, like the others, about how pro-active you are! Be sure to insert a “holiday card” in your newspapers with your name and return address so that the subcribers can send you a little “holiday” bonus. I always mail a check to the guy who delivers our newspaper even though I have never laid eyes on him! It might be a pretty decent job because we have had only 2 carriers in the 27 years that I have lived here.

Congrats, Pete. Sometimes God closes one door to lead you down a different path. I am so happy as I have had you (a man I have never personally met) on my mind the last few days. May this new opportunity bless you in many ways!
