YOU'RE FIRED!

Famous words. Infamous when they're directed at you. But thank God He sees. He hears. His hand is not shortened that it cannot reach- and turn things around. I was eighteen. Fresh out of high school, Working for a local lumber company-naive and so ignorant to the hostility of this present world and it's offense to the Word of God. Jesus said it would come.

The stinging words fell on my ears through, of all things, a phone call saying something like this: “We're gonna have to let you go. The men do not like you having your Bible on your desk when they're doing business with us. It makes them uncomfortable."

Stunned and devastated to say the least, I couldn't believe my ears. It's a call I will never forget.

Fast forward seven years. Hmmm. Interesting. I think I heard somewhere about seven being identified with Complete. Finished.

I received another phone call I indeed will never forget. The man on the other end of the line asked me if I would be interested in coming to work for him.

You know what?

For almost three decades, I've been getting PAID to read my Bible to thousands everyday!

LORD, you are so good to me. I love you Jesus. I want to stand on your Word as long as I live no matter the cost, because I know IT will stand when this world is ON FIRE!
