Hi everyone,

I just wanted you all if you can please pray for Alan for the next couple of days. He's now in Boston for the APA (American Philosophical Association) conference hoping to land a couple of good interviews and hopefully get a job at a good university. I had no idea how competitive the field is until recently (to give you an idea: at one place where he sent off his application information, there was *one* position and over 450 applicants! !nother with his specialty, it was about 1/150).

Please pray that he'll be able to get some interviews during the conference (biggest interviewing time of the year) and that he'll find a position at a university where he'll be most effective for the cause of Christ. You all know his great potential and heart, but they (those who are hiring) don't, yet.

Thanks and God bless!

And yes, he knew the whole time.)

Heather! Wow. I've really liked what you've posted so far as Violin. Yes, I will pray for you guys. Alan is one of the most articulate, objective and thoughtful writers I have come across here. He deserves a great spot somewhere.

Thanks y'all for your prayers! (no, don't really have a southern accent, but it's a useful word! Big Smile

) Update... the luggage didn't come in!!!! (Alan's fine though... but needs to have his luggage! Flame2

) Hopefully it'll arrive at his hotel tonight!

Brett, thanks for your feedback too. It really does let me know that I haven't bugged anyone yet! Evil

(But I'm being serious about that too! You all have such great things to say!) I let him know what you, Tom, and Meph wrote and he really appreciated that!

He doesn't have his luggage yet?! Ack! I hope he at least has the materials he needs to interview well.

Niebuhr thought that sustained moral energy in politics depended on religion's power to mobilize reason along with self-transcending love. The prophetic tradition, meanwhile, gave Jews and Christians some protection against the temptation to identify their social causes with God's will. Lincoln's second inaugural address expressed the prophetic insight, "The almighty has His own purposes."
