The Bethel Rebel: Life according to Johnny Ginsberg

I seem to be at another crossroads as far as work is concerned.  I’m on HR like white on rice, and they have told me squat on what my status is on the position I applied for.  I’d like to know what the deal is, especially since there’s paperwork I need to file as soon [...]

I just finished the Monvee assessment.  It is so spot on!  It totally agrees with what I already know about my life plan in my Personal Life Mandate.   The PLM is  what I took for Focus of a Warrior, which is Heart of a Warrior Stage two.  That also is in my life plan page [...]

I should inform you that I’ve spent a lot of time last night reworking the blog  so that it has more condensation and centralization of information about me, so that you may enjoy reading my history if you so choose, and it may be stuff that might make you want to explore me more. That [...]

to those out there on MySpace.  Unfortunately I was compelled to close my account there due to issues with nonuse, computer system compromise, and other problems.  I’m sorry if I hurt anyone by doing that, but I do not particularly enjoy my computer being infected with various viruses, worms, trojans, spyware, and other nasty stuff.

This weekend at Eagle  Brook Church, Pastor Bob Merritt was speaking of how we [...]

Thank you all for stopping by.  This will be a quick update as far as things go. I landed a full time position at the VA Medical Center in Minneapolis as a Medical Support Assistant.  I will be starting the position in a couple of weeks. I just want to take a moment to praise [...]

I’d like to wish all of you a Merry Christmas, Happy New Year, and I wish you all to have a lot of joy in the times coming forward. It’s a  snowy day out there.  We’ve had a snowstorm to remember at this time.  Praise to God, I managed to get to church, and get [...]

I received a letter from the Minneapolis Veterans  Home today.  It said it was not going to make an offer of employment to me “at this time.”  It also said that it was a “challenging  decision.”  I wish I could really put in what I really think about that, but I try to keep this [...]

When you are with family, sometimes it’s a great situation, and sometimes it can be like, Aw crap.  But I really do have a great family…no matter what is going on. I’ve been learning a lot lately about my family–mostly about my mother’s side at the present time.  This side of my family has deep, [...]
