Dear Brian,
Thanks for sharing Oswald Chambers' message for January 23.
.
I'm a recruiter so, I can certainly empathize with your situation of finding a
job today. Please let me know if you'd like my help with your job search.

In the mean time, you may wish to take a look at an article of mine which, over
the last 12 years or so, has helped many people to tighten up their resumes as
well as their job search:
flashcommerce.com/l/article.p?article_id=01/01/17/113221

In addition, I have a collection of job search web sites which you're welcomed to
have a copy of if you'd like. Please let me know. And I'd be more than happy to
share your resume with some of my recruiter friends who are Christians.

Finally, I wish to PERSONALLY THANK YOU for this inspirational message from
Oswald Chambers today!

By the way: In addition to being a professional recruiter, I'm also an amateur
acronymist and love creating words to help spread God's Word. So, after
reading Oswald Chambers' message for Jan 23, and seeing the emphasis placed on
"concentration on God", I created this acronym on which you may wish to COGITATE:

Concentration On God
Is The Answer To Everything!

May God continue to bless you and yours,
