Update
Okay. It’s been four months since I left the hallways of American Academia, and here is what I have learned: the world is harsh, and God is still so very good. Things have been so difficult the past few months I have felt despair like never before, and yet in the midst of it all, I have this crazy hope. The best I know how to describe it is a torrent of raging waters on top, yet a firm and steady foundation of solid rock underneath all of the turbulence. Maybe it’s good I’m experiencing this. I feel as if all the doctrine, all the theologizing, all the world view construction and deconstruction is finally taking on flesh. Everything I have learned about it theory I am experiencing first hand, and in the midst of all the turmoil, I know that Jesus will sustain me. He is guiding my life, teaching me, and will never leave me. Though I fail time and again, he’ll never let go. He truly is all I have.
And as for corporate America…it is a godless place filled with tiny men thinking they are untouchable. The lack of integrity is appauling, and the lack of honor that is due God will ultimately end badly for many, many people. The free gift of life is there for them, but only the broken will see the beauty in it. My prayer is that the executives who might happen upon this blog will see both the love and wrath of God- love for sinners and wrath towards sin, and that they might examine their own lives, see the frailty of there own bodies, weep at the realization of their sin, and rejoice in the love of a God who took on flesh to save them from it. Then, maybe they’ll do business the right way.
