CNN predicts truck driver shortage

According to today's DC Sentinel newspaper, national news outlets like CNN have been reporting a "trucker shortage on the horizon as the economy bounces back."

West GA Technical College (WGTC) is offering classes in Commercial Truck Driving and Commercial Straight Truck and Passenger Driving. Classes are taught at the Carrollton and LaGrange campuses. WGTC has the largest instructional truck fleet in the state, and offers 10 to 15 week programs.

Terry Turner CDL instructor at the college's Carroll campus, says, "When students graduate, they'll have all their hours and will have finished the state tests. They're ready to hit the road and make a good living." According to the American Transportation Research Institute, truckers average $49,006 per year.

To find out more about WGTC's commercial truck driving program, contact WGTC admission at 770-537-6000.

A devotional for the weekend

"With God in you, you have a million resources that you did not have before!"

GEN members, I found those words on Max Lucado's Twitter site today. If you don't know Max Lucado, he's a Texas-based pastor and author whose messages focus on God's love and provision. (And if you're not familiar with Twitter, it's a "social networking" site, sort of like Facebook.)

I watched the news last night and thought about how grim everything is right now. The housing market is down, many people still need jobs, and oil is flooding into the ocean. It's easy to feel discouraged and even hopeless. What can any of us do, when so much is wrong?

Then I saw Max's words this morning and realized that it isn't about what we can do. It's about what God can do. Always has been, always will be.

Our God is an awesome God, and no matter how dark things may seem, He's still in control. He has a plan for every single life, and He will never, ever leave us. Because we have a Savior in Jesus, we can live with hope!

We want you to know that no matter where you are right now, we're praying for you this weekend, asking God to fill your heart with peace during this time of career change. Be blessed, friends.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

1. Inspiration: A Check Up From the Neck Up
One time I spoke to an HR manager who was having a hard time filling a position; the position had been open for more than two months. I immediately recommended of a JobSeeker; he was imminently qualified for the job. She said they had already interviewed him and decided not to hire him. Why?

His attitude.

Friends, sometimes the number one thing standing between you and a job is your attitude! Maybe you need to do, as Zig Ziglar says, "a check up from the neck up."

This is good news because it doesn't take years to earn or learn a new attitude the way a college degree, a certain skill set, or specific industry experience would. Your attitude is a decision you make right now. I learned this bit of wisdom several years ago: "Before your feet hit the floor in the morning you make a decision about what kind of day you're going to have." I challenge you to "decide" to have a good day today, tomorrow and every day from now on.

In addition to job search, attitude plays a key role in how we deal with poor health, death, divorce, persecution and financial woes. Here are five examples:

1. An old lady.
I read a story once about an old lady who lived in an assisted living facility. As her health deteriorated, it became necessary to move her into a nursing home. She was almost blind. When the day came, her son walked her into the nursing home and down the hall toward her new room. As they approached the door to her room she exclaimed, "Oh I love it! The furniture is so nice and the curtains are beautiful!" Her son said, "Mom, we're still in the hallway." She replied, "I know son, but I've already decided that I'm going to like it here."

2. Bill Cosby. In January 1997, Cosby's only son, Ennis, was robbed and murdered on a Los Angeles highway after he stopped to fix a flat tire. On Dr. Richard Rahe's well-known life change index, the death of your child is worst life change a person can experience. It must be even worse if your child is the victim of a random murder. I wondered how Cosby would ever be able to make people laugh again. I was amazed when he was back at work and as funny as ever just a few months later.

3. Viktor Frankl. Our chaplain, Howard Tisdale, quotes Viktor Frankl (1905-1997) often. Frankl survived the Holocaust, even though he was in four Nazi death camps, including Auschwitz, from 1942-45. His mother, father, brother and wife died in the camps -- from the harsh conditions or the gas ovens. His entire family, except for his sister, died. In Man's Search for Meaning, he wrote about choosing one's attitude: "Everything can be taken from a man but one thing: the last of the human freedoms -- to choose one's attitude in any given set of circumstances, to choose one's own way ... Even though conditions such as lack of sleep, insufficient food and various mental stresses may suggest that the inmates were bound to react in certain ways, in the final analysis it becomes clear that the sort of person the prisoner became was the result of an inner decision, and not the result of camp influences alone. Fundamentally, therefore, any man can, even under such circumstances, decide what shall become of him -- mentally and spiritually." (p. 104-105)

4. The apostle Paul. Paul wrote to the church in Corinth: "I have worked much harder, been in prison more frequently, been flogged more severely, and been exposed to death again and again. Five times I received from the Jews the forty lashes minus one. Three times I was beaten with rods, once I was stoned, three times I was shipwrecked, I spent a night and a day in the open sea. I have been constantly on the move. I have been in danger from rivers, in danger from bandits, in danger from my own countrymen, in danger from Gentiles; in danger in the city, in danger in the country, in danger at sea; and in danger from false brothers. I have labored and toiled and have often gone without sleep; I have known hunger and thirst and have often gone without food; I have been cold and naked." (2 Corinthians 11:23-27) With this in mind, he wrote to the church in Philippi: "I have learned to be content whatever the circumstances. I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have plenty. I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation, whether well fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or in want." (Philippians 4:10-12)

5. You. These examples are great, but do you know who the best example is to those around you? It's you! No only has God has given you the opportunity to grow and to draw closer to him; he's calling you to be a powerful witness in his name. Don't let God down. There are people watching you to see how you bear up under the difficult circumstances you are in right now. Decide right now that you will bear this burden with dignity, that you will overcome any obstacle, and that you will be joyful no matter what the circumstances. You will bless others by doing so, and as a result, will bless yourself.

Rick Warren says, "Life is a series of problems: either you are in one now, you're just coming out of one or you're getting ready to go into another one. The reason for this is that God is more interested in your character than your comfort. God is more interested in making your life holy than He is in making your life happy. We can be reasonably happy here on earth, but that's not the goal of life. The goal is to grow in character, in Christ-likeness."

I rejoice greatly that I know you. Along with the other members of the Ship's Crew, we want you to find a job, but even more so, we want you to know the joy of the Lord.

See you (on Friday mornings)at JobSeekers -- where we'll do a check up from the neck up!

2. Success Story: Walls Come Tumbling Down
We love to hear from you when you land a new position. Please write and let us know how you found your job, what you learned from the experience, and how JobSeekers helped you.

Last week former JobSeeker Darryl led our devotional. He told the story of how Joshua led the Israelites across the Jordon River, how they circled the city once a day for six days, and then on the on the seventh day, they circled the city seven times. The walls of the city fell and they took command of the city. All of this happened to fulfill the promises of God according to his specific instructions to Joshua. See Joshua 1-6 for the story.

At the end Darryl asked, "What's your Jericho?"

Friends, if we have a God who can make the walls of a city fall, then we have a God who can make the walls of our Jericho fall too. This is awesome news for all of us!

Darryl, by the way, lives in Lawrenceville. Last year he made the round trip to JobSeekers of Peachtree City 22 times, a total distance of 2860 miles (a nice tax deduction). He kept the faith and did the hard work he needed to do. The walls of his Jericho came tumbling down.

This week's success story comes from David; he came to JobSeekers from (a 72-mile round trip). Things were looking pretty dim for David. He was interviewing with good companies but was not getting job offers. On Friday 21 May he wrote to me and said, "I feel like I'm running into a wall."

Friends, we believe in a God who promises to "never leave us nor forsake us." This phrase appears in three books of the Old Testament and in one of the New Testament (Deuteronomy 31:6, Joshua 1:5, 1 Kings 8:57 and Hebrews 13:5). God will never leave you nor forsake you.

God didn't forsake David. The walls of his Jericho came tumbling down on Thursday 27 May. Your next job could be seven days away too. Congratulations to both Darryl and David!

Jobseekers inspirational message

From our friends at Jobseekers in Peachtree City--a new devotional/inspiration message:

"1. Inspiration: A Bias for Action
Last week our topic was "How to Make $15K Real Fast."

Some people who couldn't make it last week wrote and asked me how to make $15K real fast. I'm shocked and surprised that all of you who couldn't make it didn't write to me!

The answer is: look for a job during the summer. Look for a job every day, all day during the summer. I arrived at the figure by using the figures you have reported to us when you came to your first meeting. The average JobSeekers of PTC member earns $190.01 per day 365 days a year. Multiply that amount by the 79 days of summer in the Fayette County school system and you have $15,010.79.

If you had to write a $15K check in order to take the summer off, would you do it?

If you haven't been working on your job search this week because you want to relax during your kids' first week of summer, write a check for $1330. Yes, Memorial Day is a work day for a job seeker. Every day is a work day (an opportunity) for a job seeker.

If you've taken the week off so far, you didn't have a bias for action.

- - - - -

"If you could attempt anything in your job search today and you knew beforehand you were going to be successful at it, what would you do?"

Two or three times a year I ask the audience at JobSeekers this question. Most of the responses have to do with networking and using the phone. "I'd call the company I interviewed with three weeks ago and tell them I want the job." "I'd call the VP of operations at such-and-such a company and ask for an informational meeting."

If you knew you were going to be successful, you'd have a bias for action.

What's holding you back?

Next I ask what's holding them back. Fear and pride come up every time. Other responses include not knowing anyone to call, not wanting to interrupt, and not having the necessary skills. "I just don't know what I'm supposed to say."

Many times a year (every week?) we emphasize that networking is by far the number one way people find jobs. Most people do it, but they do far too little of it. One time I took a survey at a JobSeeker meeting. The question was, "When was the last time you contacted someone you'd never spoken to before and asked for help with your job search?" The average was 7.21 days. Everyone knows networking is the best way to find a job, but they only talk to one new person per week.

When I think about this critical issue, these two bible verses pop into my head:

1. Humble yourselves before the Lord, and he will lift you up.

2. Anyone, then, who knows the good he ought to do and doesn't do it, sins.

Only six verses separate these two passages. They are both found in the fourth chapter of James. What's the connection between these passages and someone seeking employment? I believe I am writing to a great many of you who need to hear this message -- people who need to act decisively upon this advice.

Humility pays off.

The first passage about being humble is clear. I know from personal experience that it takes a great deal of humility to tell someone you are out of work and need some help. I did better at this in my own search in 2000 than I did in 1992. I know this is hard; I have tons of empathy for you.

One member of the Ship's Crew saw a gentleman at church almost every week for eight months before the gentlemen mentioned that he was in career transition. Pride and inaction may have cost him tens of thousands of dollars.

Swallowing your pride and asking for help could shorten your search by months, which would increase your income substantially. For example, if you earn $72K per year and shorten your search by two months, your gross income increases by $12K. You may get back on a corporate medical plan two months sooner and won't have to pay COBRA fees. So I urge you, brothers and sisters, to humble yourself before the Lord -- and before your family, friends and neighbors -- and they will lift you up!

We had several people last year that had been out of work for almost a year. They humbled themselves, asked us for help, invested in some training, and found great jobs as a result. They had a bias for action and it paid big dividends.

Action pays off.

The second passage about "doing what you know you ought to do" is a verse I've struggled with. I've asked myself, "Is it a sin to spend 70% of your time on 'Monster' and other job boards when you know that the best way to find a job is through networking?" I'll let you and God work that one out, but I do have an analogy for what I see many of you doing:

Think of a pilot trying to get a plane airborne: the plane has to achieve a certain speed in order to take off. In the worst case, it will crash into whatever is at the end of the runway, possibly killing all aboard.

I've met many of you who think you are going fast enough to get airborne. You're burning lots of fuel and going 90 miles an hour, but you're not going fast enough to get airborne. It breaks my heart and frustrates the heck out of me to see you plodding down the runway.

In their best selling business book, In Search of Excellence, Peters and Waterman say one of the eight principles of a well-run, focused company is "a bias for action."

Friends, some of you are not in action! You think you are, but you aren't. You're working hard, but not smart. You're on the Internet when you should be on the phone. You're out in left field when you should be out in the community.

You're not letting me down; you're letting yourself and your family down.

Friends, some of you are not in action! You don't see a consequence of taking the afternoon, or the day, or the week, or the summer off. I mentioned financial consequences, but there are other possible consequences as well, like explaining why your job search is taking so long. Time is money; act like you believe this.

What are you going to do?

By golly, if you know the good you ought to do, by all means, do it! I don't know if it's a sin -- or evil -- or not, but I do know that it is a disservice to you, your family and to the Kingdom of God. Paul scolded the church members in Thessalonica (2 Thessalonians, chapter 3) for laziness in their work; now I am challenging you and your bias for action.

I am asking you to reflect on what you are doing -- on what's working and what you need to change. I'm sure that all of us -- including our alumni, our network, and me -- can find some area of our lives that we are not doing the things we know we ought to do. So I am challenging each and every one of you to take one decisive step to ramp up your job search, your career, or your business -- to the glory of God.

Are you on board? What are you going to do?

See you tomorrow at JobSeekers, where we have a bias for action!"

Music for the Dance - a devotional by Max Lucado

Music for the Dance
by Max Lucado

Let's imagine that you want to learn to dance. Being the rational, cerebral person you are, you go to a bookstore and buy a book on dancing.

You take the book home and get to work. You do everything it says. The book says sway; you sway. The book says shuffle; you shuffle. The book says spin; you spin.

Finally, you think you’ve got it, and you invite your wife to come in and watch. You hold the book open and follow the instructions step by step.

You continue to read, then dance, read, then dance, until the dance is completed. You plop exhausted on the couch, look at your wife, and proclaim, “I executed it perfectly.”

“You executed it, all right,” she sighs. “You killed it.”

“What?”

“You forgot the most important part. Where is the music?”

Music?

We Christians are prone to follow the book while ignoring the music. We master the doctrine, outline the chapters, memorize the dispensations, debate the rules, and stiffly step down the dance floor of life with no music in our hearts. We measure each step, calibrate each turn, and flop into bed each night exhausted from another day of dancing by the book.

Dancing with no music is tough stuff.

Jesus knew that. For that reason, on the night before his death he introduced the disciples to the song maker of the Trinity, the Holy Spirit. (John 16:7–9).

Of the three persons of the Godhead, the Holy Spirit is the one we understand the least. Perhaps the most common mistake made regarding the Spirit is perceiving him as a power but not a person, a force with no identity. Such is not true.

The Holy Spirit is not an “it.” He is a person. He has knowledge (1 Cor. 2:11). He has a will (1 Cor. 12:11). He has a mind (Rom. 8:27). He has affections (Rom. 15:30). You can lie to him (Acts 5:3–4). You can insult him (Heb. 10:29). You can grieve him (Eph. 4:30).

The Holy Spirit is not an impersonal force. He is not Popeye’s spinach or the surfer’s wave. He is God within you to help you. In fact John calls him the Helper.

Envision a father helping his son learn to ride a bicycle, and you will have a partial picture of the Holy Spirit. The father stays at the son’s side. He pushes the bike and steadies it if the boy starts to tumble. The Spirit does that for us; he stays our step and strengthens our stride. Unlike the father, however, he never leaves. He is with us to the end of the age.

What does the Spirit do?
He comforts the saved. (John 16:7).
He convicts the lost. (John 16:8).
He conveys the truth. (John 16:12).

Is John saying we don’t need the book in order to dance? Of course not; he helped write it. Emotion without knowledge is as dangerous as knowledge without emotion. God seeks a balance. “God is spirit, and those who worship him must worship in spirit and truth” (John 4:24).

What is essential is that you know the music is in you. “If Christ is in you, then the Spirit gives you life” (Rom. 8:10). You don’t need a formula to hear it. I don’t have a four-step plan to help you know it. What I do have is his promise that the helper would come to comfort, convict, and convey.

So think about it; have you ever been comforted? Has God ever brought you peace when the world brought you pain? Then you heard the music.

Have you ever been convicted? Have you ever sensed a stab of sorrow for your actions? Then you’ve been touched by the Holy Spirit.

Or have you ever understood a new truth? Or seen an old principle in a new way? The light comes on. Your eyes pop open. “Aha, now I understand.” Ever happen to you? If so, that was the Holy Spirit conveying to you a new truth.

What do you know? He’s been working in your life already.

By the way, for those of us who spent years trying to do God’s job, that is great news. It’s much easier to raise the sail than row the boat. And it’s a lot easier getting people to join the dance when God is playing the music.

That’s what makes God, God.
