> Wow, I'm really sorry, Grishny-bro. I remember when I had been a couple of months at my first corporate office-type job, and one day several people on my team were let go without warning. I was pretty shaken up at the (apparent) coldness of it.

One thing that really strikes me in all of this is the comparison/contrast between the first time I was laid off and this time. Before, I worked for a ministry, and you would think that they would be much kindler and gentler about laying someone off. But in actuality, it was done in much the same way. I was called in to a private meeting with a director and a financial guy, and basically told my position was eliminated and I could go home.

>I hope God leads you to something new that you'll turn out to really like.

I know He will. There is no doubt in my mind.

>But regardless, our Father will take care of you and your family one way or another. It's a relief to know that things are ultimately in his hands, isn't it?

Yes. He's given us a great support system.

> Iss "and baby Grish will have his Daddy home more for awhile!" achar

Amen to that, bro.
