One day at work, a meeting was held in the vice-president's office at the close of the day. The new management was polite but firm; they didn't want me to stay. Instead they wanted to bring in their own team to run the marketing communications function I had created for the company. I was in shock—and out of a job. We had purchased our first home just a month before and my wife was caring for our two preschool-age children full time.

That evening I called a few friends to let them know of my layoff and to seek their guidance. I also called a Christian Science practitioner to pray with me about employment.

Then I sat back (in retrospect, rather arrogantly) expecting a quick solution. I had managed to change jobs several times before, and I thought I had a right to a speedy transition into a new one. But there was also an underlying fear that if I did not find another position fast, we would lose our home.
