The Dog Whistleblower (ePub)

I first noticed this simalarity on or around December 1995 while I was a student in my Sunday school class.  Our Sunday school teacher announced that he would soon relinquish his position as our Sunday School Teacher.  He then said that he did not know who would replace him and immediately members of the class began to recommend me as the new teacher.  Our Church had guidelines regarding who could be a teacher and I had not previously shown any interest in becoming a teacher; so naturally when it was brought to the pastor's attention he said that I was not qualified.  Then a light campaign of sorts by our teacher and other class members was initiated to petition the pastor to install me as the new teacher.  This effort culminated in a class member standing up before the church congregation during an annual church meeting making an official request that I be recognized as that class’ Sunday School Teacher.  I was later informed by our Sunday School Teacher that I had been accepted as the replacement teacher for that class.  I have always felt that I did not need to be aggressive to get into any position but rather have felt that if God wanted me in a certain place then he was able to put me there.

When I was laid off from my job 25 years ago, God had already started to position me to become an independent business man.  I always knew that I wanted to be an entrepreneur but I did not have any real plan for bringing it into fruition.  To date, God has continued to bless and expand me in my business as well as other ventures.  I believe that my life was preordained by God.  I could not have planned the life that I have, but somehow deeply embedded in my being, I have always known that I would do God’s work.  Lastly, I never set out to publish a book either, so God, let's see how this turns out.
