Our project was canceled a month ago and everyone was informed that they would all need to find new jobs. The lab manager worked tirelessly to find jobs in other parts of the company for as many of his people as possible. That is good, but it doesn't make any difference for those who where not fortunate enough to have the correct skill set to be selected for another job.
God was gracious and provided me with one of the few available jobs, but many of my dear friends were not selected and it hurts to think that I may never see them again. I have worked side-by-side with these people and together we engineered technologies that many said couldn't be done. Many of our designs were picked up by other divisions for their new products. This group of engineers are the best that I have ever worked with. They are intelligent, creative, and hard working. They enjoy their work and made my work enjoyable. There is something very special about working as a cohesive group, each doing their part, each helping the other, and each enjoying the other. I will miss it.
About Me
- RJ
- I'm married to Lesley, my dearest companion and friend. I have three children and six grandchildren. The extended family gets together as much as possible and we have a great time when we do. I love my kids, their spouses, and my grandkids. I cannot imagine a better family than what God has given me. I am active in our church and I am currently teaching "The Truth Project" which in produced by Focus on the Family Institue. I highly recommend this small group DVD cirriculum to those who wish to know more about how God has put his stamp on every aspect of life, e.g. church, family, art, science, philosophy, and government. Great stuff!

Ron - I'm glad to hear that God has provided for your continued employment at HP, here in Vancouver. You are indeed a man of "extreme" faith, one that God desires from each of us. You are safe in His hand.

We are indeed in the Almighty's hands. I would have it no other way. Thanks for your kind words.
I think this blog needs a break from the gloom of layoffs and maybe a post about the new addition to the family. :) Plus I haven't seen any of the pictures you guys took yet!
