On this day nine years ago, Christianity Today said “thanks for your service” and gave me the rest of the week to clean out my desk. I was shocked, though I probably shouldn’t have been–people a lot more talented than I were let go both before and after my personal “Black Tuesday.”
But since that day God has shown Himself more than sufficient for every challenge, and I’ve experienced more than a few. I’m so grateful to Him, to my lovely wife, Christine, and to all who have supported us on this unexpected journey.
