My company has recently been acquired by another company in the same field. We know that there will be layoffs, and the strong suspicion and rumor is that they will be occurring perhaps as early as the end of this week, but certainly (the first wave) within two weeks. They are expected to affect between 13% (the company estimate) and 25% (the rumor going around) of the staff. While I have little reason to be concerned for myself, I'm very concerned for those around me. (And of course, I may just be an ostrich--in complete denial). Please pray for all of us as we go through this time--that the layoffs are less drastic than expected and that those who are let go are able to swiftly find gainful employment.

Mr. Core, late of blogging fame, requests our prayers and thoughts as he moves through what must be a difficult, frightening, and trying time in his career.
I request prayers for me and for all those with whom I work as we also move through some tumultuous times as we move toward a transformation of our company.
Thank you.
I have an extremely important presentation to do today and an extremely important inquiry to make. Would you please remember the success of these two ventures in your prayers today?
Thank you
My Father-in-Law came home from the hospital yesterday. He's still recovering, but the worst of the problem seems to be under control. Continued prayers would be appreciated. Thank you all for adding your voices to the prayers for him.
Please add my father-in-law to your daily intentions. He's in the hospital with a serious infection.
Deepest thanks and appreciation to all who said prayers for me on Tuesday. The presentation went far better than I had expected in my wildest dreams. The results have been galvanizing and envigorating. It feels like a new world opening up--so once again, thank you.
To anyone who may read this today before two o'clock, please remember the team I work with as we have an important presentation before officers of the company. I don't expect any difficulty, but I also don't expect it to be particularly easy.
