A pastor on wfil a christian radio station out of philadelphia i listen to most nights on my blackberry had a pastor on last night that stated the question i get asked by people the most is why do bad things happen to good people.He said thats not a valed question because nobodys good but God.The question should be why do good things happen to bad people.The answer is Gods mercy and grace his unmerited favor for us that we dont deserve.I never thought about it that way ive asked the question why do bad things happen to good people a lot never the other way around.This message gave me a different view ive been thinking about a lot what are your opinions on this id like to hear.

LOS AT COLLEGE

CHICKEN DANCING 92 YEAR OLD

Getting closer

My journey towards my career started last August when my worker Lee sent an application to vesid. I have been through vesid several times but the other times they would send me to supported employment I would get a employment specialist and start working. This is the first time I requested vocational training. It took several months to get an intake appointment. At the appointment I had to fill out so much paper work about my past I wanted to quit then. A few months later I got to meet with My vesid counselor Tom. Tom made me take vocational tests that told what career would be good for me. Computers was on the list and I've always enjoyed working on the computer. Now I had to take a t.a.b.e.s test a test of basic adult education. http://www.tabetest.com I studied for the test on this website. I was never good in math and I've been out of school for 20 years but I scored a 8.6 grade level in math and 9.6 grade level in reading. I thought I wouldn't be able to get in the program but they told me it was good enough and people out of school so long usually score a lot lower. Now I'm in the program and school starts September 20th now I just have to get usued to being back in school stay tuned

Procedures that lead to responsibility and change

What do you want
Go from negative to positive
What's the specific picture
What would they have that they don't have now
What would the person be doing in that picture
What would the person be in that picture

What are you doing to get it
Look at action thinking feeling
Focus on persons behavior not the problem

Is it working
Are you getting what you want
Is it working well enough

What choices do you have in front of you
Get them all out
Provide thinking choices as well as action

Of your choices which might work better than now make a plan to try one step than check back to see of its working
