The invaluable, most excellent Dawn Eden has some wonderful news!
I have two pieces of incredibly, unbelievably wonderful news to share.
This is not an April Fool.
The first is that today I received official notice that I will begin a new, permanent full-time job on April 11. It promises to be the best job I have ever had in my life.
I am sorry that I cannot give full details of the position here, because after my experience at my last job, I recognize the necessity of keeping my blog and job completely separate, both for my own sake and out of courtesy to my employer. However, I can tell you that it is a higher-level position than my last job, with greater opportunity for advancement (that is to say, there is opportunity for advancement); it pays better; the benefits are better; I like the organization and the people I’ve met there; and – most importantly – I’ll be doing the kind of work that I’ve been longing to do.
In other words, this is a complete answer to prayer – a greater answer than I had hoped for.
The other news is that today I accepted an offer to write a book for one of the largest Christian publishers.
Details of my book will be available here, but I’m waiting until the ink is dry on the contract and until my publisher lets me know it’s OK to get the word out. For now, I can tell you that it’ll be based on themes I’ve developed on this blog (not relating to Planned Parenthood – perhaps that’ll be another book).
As one who has followed with interest the travails and triumphs of this brave and increasingly influential Christian blogger, I’d like to congratulate Dawn. This is awesome news!
