By Rod Johnson

Rodric believes Moroni included special instruction for Modern times and wants to share his unique perspective the same way Moroni shared in The Book of Mormon: Another Testament of Jesus Christ.

Moroni Saw Me

Moroni Saw MeHope is the essence of faith in things that are true. Through the challenges of life, a young boy journeys for peace, acceptance, and joy. The story is about budding faith that grows into the thriving flowers of hope with the guided hand of the divine. Rodric, the boy, finds challenges that seem constant with the loss of a loved one or the challenge of standing alone. 

Longing for a paternal relationship he never gets, Rodric finds his Father in God as he turns to Him for support. He goes through humorous experiences, daring adventures and near-fatal rendezvous all with the same goal in mind, hope in something more, which he finds! 

The boy grows into a man dealing with more love and loss and the realities of racism even in the face of religion. Finding faith alone is not enough urges him onward to discipleship as he suffers greatly to refine himself more to become like his Master Jesus Christ. 

Experience the passion, the joy, the journey and the hope of one man under the prophetic eye of Moroni, an ancient American prophet who provided the guide that led Rodric to Christ. Hope is the driving force of the human condition to reach for greatness. Will it last? Yes! Reach with him!


Networking to find a Job


All the political controversy means nothing to you when all you study is how to obtain a new occupation.

Government shutdowns and other issues seem to pale in comparison to paying personal expenses.

There came a strong suggestion that my services were no long necessary at one of my places of employment!

It is okay. It happens sometimes, especially in the economy we have experienced since President Bush left office and President Obama took over! It is not the president's fault though.

I miss my old career, but I lived through it, and maintained my links there. I am glad I did. I am still here. I survived the lack of employment because I had a plan. When unexpected things come to life, I mean literally, it is important to have a backup plan to fall on so that you don't disappear.

Networking
One of the most effective ways and probably the most effective way to get a job is networking. Networking through people that we know will help us get a job more readily than searching on our on among strangers.

Choose Good Networking Sources
Now, if you are a screw-up and everybody you know knows that you are a screw-up, try to start a different network with people with which you've had good experiences. If you don't have anybody that was blind to your ineptness then you speak to strangers that share your interests. Interest could be from any thing to knitting to computer programming.

Network to Help Others - Karma
Just because we network with someone doesn't mean that person may directly help us gain employment; however, he or she may know someone who could help. Or, we may become a contact to help someone else!

It is good to keep your name circulated--even when we have gainful employment! We may become the go-to person for people needing floor sweepers or something and gain a reputation as a good contact, leading to even more opportunities down the career road.

Fishing Our Networks

This type of fishing is not malicious but could be considered an act of benevolence! After we build our network by contacting old friends or business partners to seeing if there is common interests, then we start phishing for information and setting up some references and interviews.

We call and ask the people in our networks if we can use them as references. We can offer our professional services to people in our networks. Linkedin has an application that allows people to endorse the people in our networks.

Make sure that keep a record of the skills of our contacts just in case we need to speak for them, we need their services or we can suggest to others their services. The benefit of being in a network is the business opportunities that cone from the shared association.

The Network Needs to be Maintained Even When We Get the job.
Always check with the network. We must make sure we are updating our network members about our experiences and adding new contacts as they come. We never know the good we can cause for someone else or ourselves in doing this. Update and associate always to maintain those connections or eventually they will not be hot contacts for our current skills.
