JONATHAN'S BLOG: please pray for my dad
Jonathan McKee
A quick note... I'm on the run. I had a huge scare this morning... if you could please pray. My dad, Tom McKee, had a mild heart attack this morning and was rushed into surgery.
 
He was actually on a plane to go speak in Shreveport, LA… and he started having chest pains. He asked them to stop the plane (it was still on the ground in Sacramento Metro backing away) and next thing he was in an ambulance to the hospital.
 
Long story short, he had some blockage removed from a major artery, had a stent put in, and the nurse’s comments afterwards were, “We caught this in the nick of time.”
 
They are keeping dad there at the hospital through Sunday. Mom is doing better now… a little shook up this morning when it was all going down.
 
I think we’re over the hump! 
For those of you who don't know of my dad, he's the guy who actually wrote the helpful article in the WHAT'S NEW box on our front page this week, the article titled, The Delicate Art of Asking Questions When Being Interviewed. He's the founder and creator of www.VolunteerPower.com
 
Thanks for your prayers.
 
God Bless,

WHAT'S NEW?
The Delicate Art of Asking Questions
When Being Interviewed

You expect to be asked questions during a job interview… but what about when they ask, “Do you have any questions for us?” What do you ask? What do you not ask? These are key elements that Tom McKee answers in this insightful new article:

 

The Delicate Art of Asking Questions When Being Interviewed

By Tom McKee

 

“Do you provide cell phones for the youth pastors?”

 

The interview had gone quite well until the applicant asked that question—it changed the whole tone of the interview, which went downhill from there. Too bad because for the first two hours we were all impressed. Then we asked him, “Do you have any questions for us?” and he pulled out a binder and began rattling them off from his list. I felt like we’d moved from interview to negotiation. I began to wonder when his agent was going to walk in the room and ask for a signing bonus….

Airplanes

B.o.B. (with Haley Williams)


Main Point of Discussion:

Tune out static that forms barriers to hearing God… and find God in gentle places.

 

Scripture:

And after the fire came a gentle whisper. When Elijah heard it, he pulled his cloak over his face and went out and stood at the mouth of the cave. Then a voice said to him, “What are you doing here, Elijah?” (1 Kings 19:17)

 

The Song: "Airplanes"

B.o.B.’s “Airplanes” (from his album Presents: The Adventures of Bobby Ray) is #3 on Billboard’s Hot 100 this week and has charted for the last three months...
