It was written by Thomas Merton. <a href="https://www.mertoninstitute.org/merton_prayer.php">Click here for more information.</a><br /><br /> <span style="font-weight:bold;"> In Thoughts in Solitude, Part Two, Chapter II consists of fifteen lines that have become known as "the Merton Prayer."<br /><br />MY LORD GOD, I have no idea where I am going. I do not see the road ahead of me. I cannot know for certain where it will end. Nor do I really know myself, and the fact that I think I am following your will does not mean that I am actually doing so. But I believe that the desire to please you does in fact please you. And I hope I have that desire in all that I am doing. I hope that I will never do anything apart from that desire. And I know that if I do this you will lead me by the right road, though I may know nothing about it. Therefore I will trust you always though I may seem to be lost and in the shadow of death. I will not fear, for you are ever with me, and you will never leave me to face my perils alone.<br /><br />- Thomas Merton, "Thoughts in Solitude"<br />© Abbey of Gethsemani</span><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5340649580864611625-1132095637885404367?l=newsroomrefugee.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Jannet Walshnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5340649580864611625.post-64733766571728304212008-10-17T15:09:00.000-07:002008-10-17T15:19:26.903-07:00<span style="font-weight:bold;">By Jannet Walsh</span><br /><br />What will newspapers be like in the year 2015?

Share your thoughts to help improve your life and others that will soon be searching for new jobs.<br /><br /><br />I decided to create a blog for journalists that have lost their job recently, or will soon loose their job due to the almost depression state of the United States. After reading the website called <a href="http://graphicdesignr.net/papercuts/">PaperCuts by Erica Smith</a> devoted to newspaper layoffs and buyouts, I thought it might be interesting to share ideas on getting a new job and surviving in a poor economy.<br /><br />What did you do to rebound? If you have thoughts or ideas to share, let me know!<br /><span style="font-weight:bold;"><br />P.S. I need a job, as it was eliminated Friday, Oct. 17, 2008! <a href="http://jannetwalsh.blogspot.com/2007/12/resume-cv.html">My resume link here!</a><br /></span><br /><br /><script type="text/javascript">var _sttoolbar = {}</script><script src="http://w.sharethis.com/widget/stblogger.js" type="text/javascript"></script><script type="text/javascript">stBlogger.init('http://w.sharethis.com/widget/?tabs=web%2Cpost%2Cemail&charset=utf-8&style=default&publisher=4a1e9b73-135e-4089-84dd-77b0efa635fb');</script><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5340649580864611625-1430470849645685327?l=newsroomrefugee.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Jannet Walshnoreply@blogger.com0
