That is correct. I know God will provide. I’m applying for early retirement. It won’t be very much, but that combined with the SSDI will not be too bad.

 Cec,

Praying for God's provision.  Thankfully one of his names is Jehovah Jira.

As you all know, I’ve been out of work since June of 2006 and have been receiving unemployment until now. Well, as of today, it runs out. I thought I had until June. They said that the unemployment would be in force until June, but I had only 26 weeks of benefits, which could have been spread out until June, but since I haven’t been working, I claimed it every week, so today is the last day that I get paid. I’m still looking for work, but I believe I will need to take my early retirement in July. Please pray that they will get things rolling. I do have enough severance until then plus my SSDI. Thanks all. I did panick a little when I first heard. At least now I can be gone for longer than three days now, except I do have my class that I need to try to attend. Thanks again.
