A rich child often sits in a poor mother's lap.
~ Danish Proverb
There never was a woman like her. She was gentle as a dove and brave as a lioness...
The memory of my mother and her teachings were, after all, the only capital I had to
start life with, and on that capital I have made my way.
~ Andrew Jackson
Her children arise up, and call her blessed.
~ Proverbs 31:28
Mother's Job Description
JOB DESCRIPTION:
Long term team players needed for challenging permanent work in an often chaotic environment. Candidates must possess excellent communication and organizational skills, be willing to work variable hours which will include evenings and weekends, and frequent 24 hour shifts on call. Some overnight travel required including trips to primitive camping sites on rainy weekends and endless sports tournaments in far away cities. Travel expenses not reimbursed. Extensive courier duties also required.
RESPONSIBILITIES:
The candidate must be willing to be hated, at least temporarily, until someone needs $5. Must be willing to bite tongue repeatedly. Must possess the physical stamina of a pack mule and be able to go from zero to 60 mph in three seconds flat in case the screams from the backyard are not someone just crying wolf. Must be willing to face stimulating technical challenges such as small gadget repair, mysteriously sluggish toilets, and stuck zippers. Must screen phone calls, maintain calendars, and coordinate production of multiple homework projects. Must have ability to plan and organize social gatherings for clients of all ages and mental outlooks. Must be willing to be indispensable one minute and an embarrassment the next. Must handle assembly and product safety testing of a half million cheap, plastic toys and battery operated devices. Must always hope for the best, but be prepared for the worst. Must assume final, complete accountability for the quality of the end product. Responsibilities also include floor maintenance and janitorial work throughout the facility.
POSSIBILITY FOR ADVANCEMENT & PROMOTION:
Virtually none. Your job is to remain in the same position for years, without complaining, constantly retraining and updating your skills so that those in your charge(s) can ultimately surpass you.
PREVIOUS EXPERIENCE:
None required. On-the-job training offered on a continually exhausting basis.
WAGES AND COMPENSATION:
Get this! You pay them! Offering frequent raises and bonuses. A balloon payment is due when the offspring turn 18 because of the assumption that college will help them become financially independent. When you die, you give your children whatever is left. The oddest thing about this reverse-salary scheme is that you actually enjoy it and wish you could only do more.
BENEFITS:
While there are no health insurance, no dental insurance, no pension, no tuition reimbursement, no paid holidays, and no stock options offered, this job supplies limitless opportunities for personal growth and free hugs for life if the candidate play her cards right.
Additional Announcements from Brother Ed McGee
There were several items I wanted to mention to the general church membership. The church no longer has a postal box at the Azalea District Post Office. The church is currently receiving all mail at the physical address. Therefore, please direct all future correspondence to Tyler Primitive Baptist Church, 6502 Old Jacksonville Highway, Tyler, TX, 75703. Contributions to the church by mail should be addressed to my attention.
I noticed there are still revised church directories located on the antique buffet table in the reception area. Therefore, if you have not gotten your revised directory with new pictures please pick them up at your convenience. If you need a new directory, they are also located on the buffet table or I will be pleased to prepare you one if they have been depleted. Please keep me informed with changes in your information contained in the directory.
You may not be aware that the Baptist Bible Hour has a new web site that is quite good. It has a daily devotional and makes Elder Bradley's radio messages available on the Internet. It provides answers to common religious questions and offers many other resources (books, sermons, etc.) through the Baptist Bible Hour. The web site contains information about a Creation Weekend on July 18-20, which The Baptist Bible Hour is sponsoring. This weekend will include a tour of the new Creation Museum near Cincinnati, a creation talk by a member of the Creation Museum staff, and a sermon by Elder Bradley on creation. Lord willing, Jo Helen and I plan to attend. You may check out this web site at www.BaptistBibleHour.org
