Early this month, we reported that Royal Furniture had hired Advance Memphis Staffing Service to fill positions in their warehouse. Today we're glad to share that we are now filling two additional positions there, and Shuntell Tucker (pictured at right at his graduation from Jobs for Life) and Brian Crawford have begun working at Royal Furniture as order pickers. We're proud of these young men and we thank God for this new work.

But, as it is written,
"What no eye has seen, nor ear heard,
nor the heart of man imagined,
what God has prepared for those who love him" --
these things God has revealed to us through the Spirit. For the Spirit searches everything, even the depths of God.
