Soft skills in a video resume; do they matter?
By: Unnanu Blog
Tags: Resume, HR, Hiring Tips, Soft Skills, Videos

When hiring a new employee for your company, there are many aspects for you to consider. There are too many to list, but experience, education, talents, and skills are some of them. The list goes on and on. When you really break it down, it’s really just about their hard and soft skills. Obviously, hard skills are measurable, but what about soft skills? Do they matter? What if employers can have a look into the soft skills of their candidates? It would be valuable to get a sense of skills such as confidence, the ability to connect with others, judgment, and many others before narrowing down the resume. It will save you time when choosing the most appropriate applicants to interview and advance to the next steps of the hiring process. Let’s uncover a few insights into this topic.

Culture fit and job fit

If a candidate is a great cultural fit as well as job fit, they will be less likely to leave the company soon. Employee longevity is essential to run a business smoothly. Therefore, when hiring for a full-time position, it is important to look for signs that tell you how long the applicants are going to stay in the company. If the candidates show their motivation, passion, commitment, and innovative ideas, they will be an asset to your company.

Dependability

It’s crucial to know how much you can rely on your employees. Trustworthiness and the ability to meet deadlines play a vital role in the company. When an applicant presents themselves via video, it is easy to watch and get a better read on their dependability.

Team spirit

It is important to understand if new applicants can work collaboratively with the team. A truly collaborative person would not just show off their ability to work with colleagues, but also demonstrate through their actions. Having a video in hand makes it much simpler to choose the right candidates.

Communication

A video is a great opportunity to understand job seekers’ communication skills. The way they present themselves, how they deliver their message, how they will interact with your clients in virtual meetings, and how they show off their talents and skills. Put simply, the way they present themselves is enough to understand their communication skills.

Anything else?

The number of soft skills is countless. For example, attention to detail, adaptability, creativity, leadership, empathy, positivity, time management, work ethics, and so on. Although it is a long list, hiring managers should have a good understanding of what skills should be considered for the position.

No matter what type of soft skills you are looking for, short videos or video resumes are one of the best methods to evaluate the top talents for your business. If you are not aware of this new trend, try Unnanu Hire, the best method to hire outstanding candidates with many features that streamlines hiring with an integrated job board, applicant tracking system (ATS), and on-boarding.

Can you really party virtually?
By: Russell Thackeray
Tags: HR, Resilience

We are facing a strange Christmas. But it’s not all bad is it? Surely this year we’ve all got an excuse for missing the works party!

Apparently not!

With traditional Christmas parties off the menu this year, a lot of organisations are looking at online options as a way to promote a little festive cheer.

With the pandemic has taken its toll in the workplace maybe it’s more important than ever for employers to use the festive period to make employees feel valued. But is it really that easy to transfer the Christmas get together into an online experience?

People have generally got over the novelty of spending hours online so do they really want to be spending more time glued to the screen in a virtual pub?

And there’s such a lot more to the traditional festive party. Dressing up, eating mass catered meals, drinking the dodgy wine and, best of all, working out who’ll be missing in the office the day after.

Whilst we need to recognise that this year has been tough for staff, perhaps the thought of a fabulous Summer party might give us more to look forward to?

One thing’s for certain, if it’s a really awful virtual party it’ll be a lot easier to sneak off after an hour.

What ‘work’ festivities are you planning?

October Employment Numbers in the United States
By: Mike O'Donnell
Tags: Labor, HR, Hiring, Employment Number, Employment

The monthly employment update from the Bureau of Labor Statistics was released today, November 6th. The numbers were a little more positive than many were anticipating, with employment increasing by 638,000 and the unemployment rate falling to 6.9%.

These metrics have improved each month over the last six months although both are still at twice February levels. Nonetheless, it is the details behind these throwaway headlines that provide insight into what the U.S. economy will look like as we head into 2021.

In absolute terms, there were 11.1 million Americans unemployed in October but, distressingly, the number of long-term unemployed (those jobless for twenty-seven weeks or more) increased by 1.2 million to 3.6 million (32.5% of the total unemployed) at the same time as the overall unemployment rate fell.

In addition to these 3.6 million long-term unemployed individuals, there were 6.7 million people working part-time for “economic reasons”, an increase of 383,000. These individuals, who would have preferred to be working full-time, were working part-time because their hours were reduced or they were unable to find full-time jobs.

A further 6.7 million Americans were not in the labor force but wanted a job, including 588,000 discouraged workers who believed that no jobs were available to them. These individuals were NOT counted in the unemployed numbers because they were not actively looking for a job during the month or were unavailable to take a job.

The larges sector job gains in October were in the leisure and hospitality industry with 271,00 new jobs (42% of the total additions), most of which could evaporate this month in the light of further COVID shutdowns, and 208,000 additions (33%) in the professional and business services industry, primarily temporary help service workers.

As October ends, we have 11.1 million Americans unemployed, a third of whom have been unemployed for more than six months, 6.7 million Americans who would like a full-time job but are working part-time because they can’t find a full-time one and 6.7 million Americans who would really like a job but haven’t looked for one recently or weren’t available to work in October.

Some 24.5 million Americans.

That is a significantly large number of people whose spending patterns have changed as a consequence of economic circumstances this year, and that will have a significant impact on consumer spending patterns, small business activity, and thus small business survivability rates in the year ahead.

Don’t anticipate a return to normalcy on January 1st, 2021. Far from it. This recession will continue in 2022.

How do I know when my business is ready for an in-house counsel?
By: Index Ventures
Tags: General Counsel, Lawyers, HR, Entrepreneurship, Startup

Illustration by Jago Silver

Michelle Fernandes, Lead Counsel at Index Ventures US: The typical rule of thumb is that unless you have an IP-heavy company with a number of specialized commercial contracts, or a highly regulated company (such as a fintech company), you don’t need in-house corporate counsel until the company is at least at the series B or C stage and there is a large enough workload for them.

For early-stage companies, there are other hires that are much more important to make first, such as the engineering team, product managers, sales and finance. Usually the in-house finance professional will also handle operational and HR matters, including working with the company’s outside counsel to manage legal needs.

“Ensuring the company’s proper ownership of its intellectual property rights is crucial — particularly if you are leaving a larger company to start a new one.”

As for an outside corporate counsel, that should be part of starting your company. It is important a company’s formation documents are correct from the beginning, as it can be a painful process to fix later. This includes ensuring best practices at formation, adopting standard employment contracts, complying with securities laws, and establishing ground rules with co-founders. Ensuring the company’s proper ownership of its intellectual property rights is crucial — particularly if you are leaving a larger company to start a new one.

Questions about the company’s intellectual property rights will come up from the first financing round through an exit, so it’s always safest to engage counsel when you are ready to form your company. Then you can make sure your legal counsel blesses your formation from a corporate and intellectual property perspective.

If you’re worried that it might be expensive to retain counsel, perhaps if you’re still at the concept stage, it is important to remember that most legal firms that specialize in emerging companies work understand cash constraints. You can negotiate an engagement where you feel comfortable about the fee structure and initial outlay.

The services you’ll need at the beginning usually aren’t very time intensive for an experienced startup attorney, and law firms specializing in emerging companies are used to fee arrangements that take lack of revenue into account.

Top Trends in times of Covid-19

Let’s leap into a successful start for the new year! What does this new year mean for human resources (HR) and recruiting — especially in a COVID-19-impacted workplace? Prep for this year by learning 7 up-and-coming HR trends!

Photo by William Daigneault on Unsplash

Terms like “New Work” or “Future of Work” are no longer abstract future scenarios. The way we work has changed radically within a very short period of time, requiring new-found flexibility and creativity to remain competitive.

One example is the rapid switch from working at an office to working from home. Between March 14 and March 24 2020, video conference apps were downloaded 62 million times — corresponding to a dizzying, daily average of 5.64 million times worldwide. Organisations needed to become digitally agile — and fast. A high level of digitization enables rapid response to interrupted supply chains and workflows, thus protecting the company’s ability to deliver and therefore its existence.

In fact, one study conducted by the Boston Consulting Group (BCG) showed that digitally advanced companies performed significantly better on the stock market during the height of the pandemic’s first wave than less digitally advanced companies[1].

It’s clear COVID-19 accelerated already observable trends, like digitization. Yet ripple effects from the pandemic are emerging as trends. What can HR and recruiting expect in the upcoming 2021?

Gain an overview of what to expect in the coming months in the following paper “Top 7 HR Emerging Trends During COVID-19”. Learn about current industry developments and detailed information on what to monitor.

The selection of these trends is based on our best best practices within HR and technology. Through collaboration and exchange with clients, investors, and in-house research, we’ve gathered what’s here to stay during these changing times. Accordingly, the paper is not exhaustive, but instead highlights the most pressing developments.

How to run and optimise a 360-degree feedback in a small team
By: Inga Driksne
Tags: Optimisation, Startup Lessons, People Operations, HR, 360 Degree Feedback

“I need to review two members of the team before the end of the week and I haven’t prepared a single thing — help me!”

This is how a 360-degree feedback process started at GoSquared (all-in-one growth platform for SaaS businesses), when James and I caught up in June. I’ve been supporting and advising James Gill and the rest of the leadership team for 3 months by that time and found out that they have never run an “official” feedback process at GoSquared, yet alone for the whole team.

In other words, not even the co-founders really knew how well they’ve been performing this entire time. It didn’t take James much convincing that we don’t just review the 2 members of the team, but the whole team instead, including the 3 co-founders.

For those who are unfamiliar with a 360° feedback process, here is a good definition (stolen from Wikipedia — the source of all truth, obviously):

“A 360-degree feedback is a process through which feedback from an employee’s subordinates, colleagues, and supervisor(s), as well as a self-evaluation by the employee themselves is gathered. Such feedback can also include, when relevant, feedback from external sources who interact with the employee, such as customers and suppliers or other interested stakeholders.”

In other words, you try and get as much feedback from different sources and angles as possible, to build a 360 degree view of employee’s strengths, weaknesses, performance at work, cultural fit and so on.
6 Minutes of Kano — Mayumi. What is your name and job title?
Tags: Staffing And Recruiting, Interview, HR, Kano, Mayumi

What is your name and job title?

Mayumi Yokomizo. Director, Partnerships GM, Japan

What is your story? How did you get to Kano?

Because most of my professional experience consisted of working for large corporations like Disney, the idea of working at a start-up had always intrigued me, especially for a company with a mission to make a difference in people’s lives.

The mission-driven side of my interest stemmed from my time at Sesame Workshop, the non-profit organization with a mission to help kids all over the world lead better lives. Knowing that our work contributed in a small way to help kids learn to be smarter, stronger, and kinder, brought the team closer together and work harder, and I craved that type of bond that united everyone to achieve a common goal. Luckily for me, I was hired as a partnerships manager to oversee the Disney and Harry Potter licensing business in August 2019.

Why are you at Kano?

What attracted me initially to Kano was the innovative line of products that were designed to demystify technology.

But more importantly, what has kept me at Kano is the people that I get to work with on a daily basis — my colleagues, who are some of the brightest and hardest working group of people I’ve ever worked with; our partners, who share a common goal of helping close the digital divide; the community of educators and parents, who work tirelessly to ensure that the students don’t get left behind in their education due to Covid-related school closures; and most importantly, the students, whose inquisitive minds and desire to learn fuel our passion to work harder.

Tell us one thing you do every day? Every week? And then every month? This could be anything in your life at all.

Every day, I catch up on the news over breakfast together without the need to rush to drive in LA traffic to the office.

Every week, I learn how to cook new dishes via our HelloFresh meal kits. I guess you can say that HelloFresh is the Kano of delicious meals — anyone can learn how to cook tasty dishes, not just consume!

At least a few times a month, I started playing the flute again, mostly classical pieces by Mozart and Telemann, but my all-time favorite is Cecile Chaminade’s Flute Concertino. The slower pace in life has restored my desire to pick up the flute once again, which I have not touched in many years. Yes, I was a band geek growing up who attended band camps, but I’ve also performed at the Lincoln Center in New York City and have been written up on NY Concert Review as a flutist with “a big, luscious tone.”

What does it take for someone to work at Kano? What skills do they need?

Skills can be taught, but what cannot be taught is the willingness to learn and work hard.

To work at Kano, it takes someone with a passion — whether it be for education, product design, engineering, customer experience, creative, manufacturing, finance, operations, sales, or marketing, they should be excited about making a difference in kids’ lives via technology.

Hymn for a Dying Planet
By: Paul H. Harder Ii
Tags: Prayer, Faith, Poetry, Ecology, Christian

Dear Lord and Father, I repent

of years I did betray

the beauty of this world you’ve lent,

nor held it safe for your advent,

but watched its slow decay.

In mankind’s sin, we broke this Earth

and poisoned what You made.

With each lost species’ squandered worth,

we’ve multiplied our guilty dearth

of wisdom we’ve obeyed.

If it be true that you redeem

a sinner such as me,

I pray for Earth a new regime

to raise it back to health supreme,

to all that it can be.

Oh, let me play my part in this,

to make your world more pure.

I’ll help repair what’s now amiss,

from mountaintop to deep abyss.

Make me part of your cure.

Amen!

Will You Take Me As I Am?

Will You Take Me As I Am?

Photo by Jack Sharp on Unsplash

Last night my feet went cold, my heart raced as I tossed around in bed. It was another difficult day. I closed my eyes, but sleep evaded me as my mind filled with thoughts of the time we spent together. Just one thought pierced my heart: will you take me as I am?

Who am I that you should be mindful of me? Who am I that you should give yourself up for me? It’s been a long time since I went down on my knees and told you how my day went, about the ups and downs that life throws my way.

I miss you. Yes, I left and thought I could do without you, at least I wanted to see what it was like to be without you, but here I am again. My mind filled with memories of the time we spent together, the days and nights we stared into each other’s eyes and said how much we loved each other.

I gave that up. For a moment like the prodigal son, I took my share of the inheritance and left. I took off without a second thought. Yet, Look at me now, running back to you in raggedy clothes, torn shoes, and a broken heart. I come with arms and heart wide open, on bent my knees.

You said, “come to me all you that are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.” So, here I am with just one plea: will you take me as I am?

I come just as I am hanging onto the slim hope that holds me up.

Will you take me as I am?

A Sheltered Life
By: Paul H. Harder Ii
Tags: Christian, Prayer, Poetry, Faith

Dear Lord,

I pray for shelter from the storm,

but not from the sight of its power and beauty.

Give me a safe home,

that I may help others gain the same.

Let me find comfort,

yet not be comfortable with others’ pain.

Deliver me from evil,

but not from the duty to oppose it.

Shield me from my enemies,

as you teach me to make of them friends.

Shelter me beneath Your wings,

but only to teach me to fly.

Amen

Local community members make special hats for newborns
By: Tony Cowger
Tags: News, Volunteering, Prayer, Community, Baby

“No matter what may be going on in the world, few things embody hope like welcoming a baby.

Despite hospital volunteer groups not meeting in person like they used to because of the pandemic, one group is still helping parents celebrate one of life’s most precious gifts.

Members of Alamance Presbyterian Church’s Knit, Pray, Love Ministry make baby hats for the newborns at the Women’s & Children’s Center at Moses Cone Hospital.

The hats are made from home and dropped off at the hospital once they’re finished.

‘We do pray for the babies and their parents as we’re making items,’ ministry leader Linda Aydelette said.

‘It’s just kind of seeing them in your mind and your heart of who they are and let them know that everything’s OK, and you’re not alone, and God loves you, and He is guiding us in this time no matter what.’”

2020 English Christian Song | “Speak Your Heart in Prayer to Have the Holy Spirit’s Work”
Tags: Christian songs about prayer, Prayer, Gospel Music

Verse 1

None can lack communion with God.

Without prayer you live in the flesh,

you live in the bondage of Satan.

Without true prayer you live in darkness.

God hopes that the brothers and sisters

are able to truly pray every day.

This is not adherence to doctrine.

There has to be an effect obtained.

Verse 2

The lowest standard God requires

is for hearts to be opened to Him.

If men give God their heart, speak their truth,

then God is willing to work in them.

God doesn’t want a man’s twisted heart,

but He wants his pure and honest heart.

If man doesn’t speak his heart to God,

then God doesn’t work or touch man’s heart.

Chorus

Prayer is of utmost importance.

When the Spirit’s work is received in prayer,

then your heart is touched by God.

The strength of your love for God comes forth,

when you pray with your heart.

But if you don’t open your heart and commune,

then God will have no way of working within you.

Verse 3

Thus, the most crucial thing about prayer

is to speak the words of your true heart.

Tell God your flaws, rebelliousness,

and completely open up to God.

Then your prayers will interest God,

or else God will hide His face from you.

You must keep your heart at peace before God,

do not depart your heart from God.

Verse 4

Use prayer to keep things as they are,

when you don’t gain a new, higher view.

You must have prayer so you don’t regress.

This is the least that you must do.All must enter this reality,

and have conscious training in prayer.

Seek the Spirit’s moving, don’t just wait.

This is what a true seeker of God does.

Chorus

Prayer is of utmost importance.

When the Spirit’s work is received in prayer,

then your heart is touched by God.

The strength of your love for God comes forth,

when you pray with your heart.

But if you don’t open your heart and commune,

then God will have no way of working within you.

Christmas is almost upon us! And with it, the hope of a New Year.

It has been a tough year. Yet, many blessings lay hidden throughout it all.

As we end 2020 and transition into a New Year, I want to offer you a blessing too.

May you have smooth sailing ahead. And even when rough waters await, may God give you strength to weather any storm the future may bring. May you face all challenges with courage and faith. I pray that you trust God in all things, to get you through dark times — to grow you through dark times. May no hardship lead to doubt. I pray that your faith continues to grow, no matter what the future holds. May you encounter blessings beyond measure. I pray your future surpasses anything you can dare to imagine. May you encounter God’s goodness in unexpected ways. I pray that He surprises you with unexpected blessings. May you come to expect good things, and no longer fear the worst. May you look forward in faith. May you expect a future full of hope, beauty, and joy. May you be so full of joyful goodness that you can’t contain it. May the world see it, love it, and feel drawn to it. May God grow your soul in the year to come. I pray that you become such a strong, beautiful, and winsome soul that the world cannot help but take notice. May God’s light burn brightly within you. And, may you, too, be a light unto the world.

Truly, I pray that 2021 bring you untold blessings.

The Forgiving Type
By: Jill Kelley
Tags: Forgiveness, Short Story, Christianity, Prayer, Fiction

When he saw a teardrop land on the page, Leo Waters snapped his gaze away from the letter of intent to enact the eminent domain law. He crumpled it up as tightly as possible and hurled it hard. It made an unsatisfying tap against the wall and rolled back across the floor to his feet, mocking him. There was no way out of this. He picked up the paper ball, made a three-point-over-the-shoulder-hook-shot into the wastebasket, then flumped on the sofa.

“Nice shot,” Anna Waters said.

“How can you forgive this?” Leo wanted to know. “My grandparents lived in this house for forty-five years, and we have lived here for twenty-eight. That’s seventy-three years this house has been in our family. This is so unfair. How will I ever be able to forgive the governor for doing this to us? I don’t want to move. This is our home. I love it here.”

“I understand, Lovey,” Anna tried to console her husband. “I love it here, too, but unforgiveness only hurts yourself. Try to accept it. Our sacrifice will serve the community well. Besides, God commands us to forgive. That’s how I can do it, and so can you. I know you’re not feeling it, but pray, and God will help you.”

“I know you’re right, but I’m so angry and disappointed,” Leo pounded his fist against the arm of the sofa. Then surrendering, he slid down to his knees and prayed.

“Dear Heavenly Father, please help me to forgive the people responsible for taking away our home. Help me to let go. I pray, Lord, for Your blessing upon the freeway expansion. I lift up to You all the folks who will be displaced because of it. I pray that You would provide for us all. Thank You, Lord, for Your love and grace. I trust You.” Leo performed the sign of the cross as he ended his prayer, “In the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost. Amen.”

Leo sat back down on the sofa and smiled at his wife, “I feel so much better, Anna. It feels like a weight has been lifted off my shoulders. I’m glad we are in this together.” Leo looked at the clock; it was 5:30 p.m. He picked up the TV remote. “Let’s see if there’s anything about the freeway expansion on the news tonight.”

Earlier in the year, the rumors about the disease were flying so fast on social media that I suspended my actions on Facebook. Frightening theories . . . everything from a secret government experiment, to the disease causing the lungs to atrophy . . . were flying fast and furious. I haven’t used Facebook since April, and I really don’t miss it.

Instead, I began journaling. I’ve tried to journal for years, but the advent of a global pandemic and working from home was the perfect cocktail to start a prayer journal. I’ve kept a prayer log since May.

Here is an excerpt from day one May 13, 2020 . . .

Dear Lord, thank you for waking me up to see another day in the 65th year of my birth. I am so grateful for all of the blessings you have provided. But, Lord I am so scared. I want to live because I feel I have so much more to do in this life. I also feel that I am not ready to see Your Face. Although this world is in such turmoil, I want to be here to help solve problems and help people.

Lord, my prayer is that you forgive me; forgive us. Pardon our sins; pardon my sins. Give us another chance to do and be what you created us to be. You created us to Love you and to love each other, to take care of the world you gave us, and to care for each other. I don’t know how to make these changes, Lord but you do. Change our hearts. Create in me and in all of us a heart more like your son, Jesus. I know that you are the architect of this life and our faith. Lead us into a deeper connection with You. Guide us in creating strategies to end homelessness, hunger, poverty, sickness, and all of the maladies of humans.

We give you all the praise, Father God. Thank you for this day. For health. Food. Shelter. Clothing. Companionship. Family.

Amen

Wearing Different Boots Daily

I wear suit boots in the morning for my day work. I wear football after work in the evening to play the sports that I work on and I wear computer boots at night because the best time to do coding at night when everyone is sleeping. Saleem Kayseven Dec 21, 2020·1 min read

I am not a fan of routine but during winter I try hard to do different days my day starts very early at 4 am. Faith is the most important thing in my life because it keeps me going. I start my day with prayers then reading of the Quran and that’s how I end my day. I pray God keep me faithful to start a day with God’s remembrance and then end with reflection on God’s blessings on me. Praying doesn’t really stop you from worldly thing it actually make it easy. In my day time job I do work from morning to evening but my prayers serves as break. Some people go out for smoke breaks or walk breaks but my breaks is prayers which makes my life easy. After that I go to football and at night I read to learn more about technology and work on that daily

Hawaiian Christmas Prayer

Hawaiian Christmas Prayer — I painted this during the Gulf War, 1990. I was asked to create a hopeful painting by a military mom whose husband — and her daughter’s daddy — were deployed to Iraq. The tiny photo on the sofa under her clasped hands is of her dad.

Prayer 12/20/2020

If I have to be David

Ancestor hold me up

Angel give me sight beyond sight

So I can bring down the Giants

And stand

And live in abundance

In peace

O Allah

Bless Muhammad

and the family of Muhammad.

Let the light of Muhammad

and the family of Muhammad

be my guide.

نور.

Let me not be deceived

by the Morning Star

whose light tempts,

and only leads astray.

Knowing that the light

also comes from the Light.

A servant fallen

is a servant still.

The work of temptation

is the shadow by which

we know the Light is.

It is proof of the Light.

Iblis

disobeyed the first command,

to obey the First Command.

Humbled arrogance.

O God, bless Muhammad

and the family of Muhammad.

Let me stand with my Imam

on the Day of Judgement.

I have not the pride of Iblis,

nor the proximity of Iblis.

Yet, I err like Iblis,

taken by the light of Iblis.

I hear the whispers,

and sometimes listen.

I seek forgiveness,

and to be in the Light.

Some mistakes are

from ignorance,

from not understanding,

from trying and failing.

Some are from

the whispers,

the soft light,

arrogant humility.

It is from these

and more

from which I turn,

and turn to the Light.

Even in my intention,

there may have been

ghalat,

but never ghaflat.

I seek forgiveness,

penance, intercession,

because I remember,

with every beat, Who is closer.

O God, bless Muhammad

and the Family of Muhammad.

May the salwat, be pleasing

to God and the angels.

May I be a greater

lover than Iblis.

Of more service

than Iblis.

May the Mercy

shown to me,

be greater than that

given to Iblis.

O God

Bless Muhammad,

the Family of Muhammad,

and the mu’minin.
I can’t hear you!

We have a routine in the morning, like everyone else! Around 7 a.m., the kids wake-up, followed by the morning routine with the plan to get in the car by 7:40 a.m. The drive to school is about 8 minutes away. Once we are buckled in, the first thing to do is to say a short prayer. That’s our morning prayer during a weekday morning. Usually, Jeremiah prays first, followed by Jonathan. Then we say the Lord’s prayer, Song of Solomon 8:6, and Psalm 23. All of this is done in a 4–5 minute window during the drive to the school.

Jonathan is lower in his voice compared to Jeremiah when praying. The sound of the heat blowing in the car and other noises on the road sometimes make it harder to hear. He is also sitting on the passenger side at the back, so a little bit more distant from me than Jeremiah. Adding all this, sometimes it becomes harder to hear Jonathan’s prayer, and there have been times where I asked him to be louder. Obviously, the masks these days don’t help it either.

Two weeks ago, we were waiting on a signal to make a left turn on a Monday. Jeremiah just finished his prayer. Next was Jonathan’s turn. He started, but I could not hear him well, and I said, “Mone, pray louder, I can’t hear you!”. (‘Mone’ means son in Malayalam). He got a bit louder, and now I could hear. That’s great, and he is doing what he is supposed to be doing. I’m happy!

Well, wait! It took about 30 seconds when I had a tube light moment. I don’t know if the tube light concept is universal. Hence, here is a few sentences about it. Back in the day (in India), we used to make fun of each other when we don’t get a joke. You were called a tube light because tube lights may take a few minutes to turn completely on, and during the process, they flicker. It’s that tube light moment in my mind reflecting on what I just told Jonathan that brought a smile to me.
A Prayer 4 My Town
By: Patrick O Hearn
Tags: Coping, Grief, Prayer, Covid-19, Gratitude

I’m grateful to live in a town whose leaders support us, our community:

To take care of ourselves and each other.

To show respect for ourselves, others, public health guidance, and the law.

To provide sustenance and comfort so we can journey through this dark winter,

To share information and progress so that cynicism, gossip and malice cannot take root,

To shine as lighthouses of hope, encouragement and compassion,

To always see our neighbor as a fellow American and not as an enemy, especially when beliefs and political views don’t agree,

To offer and to demonstrate, in large ways and small, that we are caretakers and peacemakers, and that we all have a part in overcoming this epic tragedy;

Doing this in our grief for those we’ve lost, but also in gratitude that today, we are alive.

“I am no longer my own, but thine.

Put me to what thou wilt, rank me with whom thou wilt.

Put me to doing, put me to suffering.

Let me be employed for thee or laid aside for thee,

exalted for thee or brought low for thee.

Let me be full, let me be empty.

Let me have all things, let me have nothing.

I freely and heartily yield all things to thy pleasure and disposal.

And now, O glorious and blessed God, Father, Son and Holy Spirit,thou art mine, and I am thine. So be it.

And the covenant which I have made on earth, let it be ratified in heaven.

Amen.”

I am always praying for miracles. See,

not all of us children are at God’s mercy.

God’s mercy, the child in us gets it eventually.

“Too sad to be funny, and too funny to be sad.”

Funny, how sadness pretends to make me laugh.

My throat is bruised from all the talking about

talking. My throat is bruised, I am done talking.

The important scripture, I dare not read.

The important scripture, I dare not read

Just know: “We’ve got a lot to be mad about”

Just know I’m mad about a lot and much more

than the price of oil in the summertime.

Like the price of oil in the summertime

I am always praying for miracles, see?

******* GOD LOVES CHILDREN *******

Topic: ANGEL’S IN THE HOME

“For he shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways. They shall bear thee up in their hands, lest thou dash thy foot against a stone.” Psalm 91:11. Angels of God are watching over us. Upon this earth there are thousands and tens of thousands of heavenly messengers commissioned by the Father to prevent Satan from obtaining any advantage over those who refuse to walk in the path of evil. And these angels who guard God’s children on earth are in communication with the Father in heaven. “Take heed that ye despise not one of these little ones, “Christ said; “For I say unto you, That in heaven their angels do always behold the face of Father which is in heaven” {Matthew 18:10}. Scarcely any of us realize that angels are about us; and these precious angels, who min

After the hatred, after the anger, after the pain, the tears, the numbness; I turned to prayer. I was far from over her but I knew I couldn’t be with her. My therapist would later tell me that I’m focusing too much on my weaknesses and failing to see my strengths and opportunities and that I am choosing to be alone.

Sometimes I miss it. I’ll be watching a show or reading a book and there will be a scene with a simple lovers interaction that pierces my shield and reminds me of a time that that was me, and someone else. It is not long before I rebuild my walls and assume that such intimacy is for other people, not me, not right now, perhaps not anymore, not for a long time anyway.

But despite not being over her, I genuinely didn’t think I could be with her or that I should be with anyone.

So I prayed. It is not an exaggeration to say that she would come to my mind everyday and when she did I’d say a little prayer; that she found the right guy, the right person, at the right time.
My Gift to You
By: Elvy Rolle
Tags: Life Lessons, Prayer, Giving, Love, Jesus

I wondered dear Jesus —

what small gift I could give You today,

and everyday for the rest of my life.

I discovered that I really have nothing, but me;

even that is a gift from You.

I looked at me and thought,

How could I use this gift to serve and honor You?

Remembering that sharing what I have,

or helping others is like giving to You,

I understand how:

My voice —

I could say a kind word of cheer;

or sing a song to help soothe a broken heart.

My ears —

I could listen carefully to one who is distressed,

to help lighten the heavy load.

My eyes —

I could look for the good that others do,

see the needs around me, and make a difference.

My nose —

I could smell the blossoms of good things in my life,

and pass them on to another.

My hands —

I could offer a gentle touch to encourage someone.

My feet —

I could visit the frail and lonely,

or take something needed to the homeless or hungry.

This gift is more valuable than any other I can give,

I give You myself!
Silent or Contemplative Prayer: also known as Mediation
Tags: Silent Prayer, Christianity, Prayer, Bhuddism, Contemplative Prayer

Thomas Keating, the monk in the video is basically explaining meditation and much of Buddhism in Christian terms. The term he uses is contemplative or silent prayer. However, the monk glosses over a lot of important topics and practical techniques very quickly.

* He discusses the practical technique: 19:53–23:20 in the video. Notice how he says you go into the feeling of the body when negative emotions occur (this is key 21:12), and that you relax into the difficulties of life (again this is key). Also notice that you have to do this practice on a regular basis (ie: daily or weekly for a long time) and it slowly shapes you over time — especially when looking back at how you handled situations.

Also key is that when you are able to relax into some difficulty, life will throw something new at you — so your work of relaxing into these difficulties and doing silent prayer is ongoing (24:03–24:30).

* At 18:17–19:10 he talks about your attitude to difficulties. Notice that a beneficial attitude on difficulties of life is a result from the contemplative prayer practice — not the other way around. And that we are to welcome difficulties as learning opportunities.

* At 11:51–14:39 he explains why we have difficulties and negative emotions. It also explains a high level overview of the practice.

A great companion book to this topic might be Living Buddha, Living Christ by Thich Nhat Hanh. I have not read it, but know of the author.
