Hitting Too Close to Home

My brother lost his job today. He is a High School Spanish Teacher effected by the budget crisis we are all in. He has 5 children, a home, and is in his bishopbric.

Who is next? Randy's job is going through accredidation proceedings. If the school doesn't prove that they have their financial records in hand, and that they have proceedures that are followed by faculty/staff, then the Junior College will lose its accredidation effective June 1st. Can they do it?

I was helping in Lindie's kindergarten class the other day and a little girl told me, "My mom and dad are both looking for jobs. I'm kind of scared. Where will I live? What will I do? At least I get to see them more."

In the all Northern California Stakes Broadcast a few weeks ago, we as Northern California Saints were encouraged to STAY WHERE YOU ARE. Zion is here. So jobs must be too.

Especially for my brother, please.

I am sorry--it is hard when things like this happen to good people. I'll keep your family in my prayers.

Buff, this post totally made me cry. I will keep Craig in my prayers. This is a tough time with everything going on, I know the Lord is watching and mindful of all of our individual situations. Hope you start to feel better soon, with the baby. It has been fun to hear from Ally and here little Brooke and to see Celeste post about Mitch's little lady. Your baby will have fun cousins to be chased around by at family get togethers.
