Are you as excited about the newly reimagined Guideposts<\/em> magazine<\/a> as we are? Lately I\u2019ve been talking to a few interested media outlets about our recommitment to the readers of our 76-year-old flagship publication. At a time when so many publishers are pulling back from print, our relaunch is newsworthy. Invariably I am asked how I came to Guideposts. It\u2019s a story I love to tell.<\/p>\n

At the time, my life was a shambles.<\/a> I was desperately trying to stay sober after years of alcohol abuse. My sponsors in the 12-step program I attended informed me that I needed to do two things: Find God in my life and find a job. Both prospects were daunting. I had long since drifted from faith<\/a> and my hands shook so bad, I could barely fill out a job application. But the latter suggestion seemed the most practical, especially since we weren\u2019t talking about a career\u2014just a job I could hang onto for a year while I tried to get my life in order. Any job. <\/p>\n

One day I was half-heartedly scanning the want ads and half-heartedly praying for guidance<\/a> when the phone rang. I wasn\u2019t in the habit of answering the phone, on the assumption that it was usually bad news. Don\u2019t ask me why but for some reason I picked up. On the other end was a woman from a job placement agency who was looking over my r\u00e9sum\u00e9 and thought there might be an opening for me at a publishing company. Would I be interested in interviewing for an assistant editor position? <\/p>\n

All I could think of was, how did she get my name and number? I\u2019d never heard of this agency and was certain I\u2019d never sent them my r\u00e9sum\u00e9. I wondered if it was a scam. She read off my address and said, \u201cThe offices are just across town from you. I\u2019d be happy to set up an appointment.\u201d <\/p>\n

I\u2019d also never heard of the company, Guideposts. What was that, some kind of travel magazine? The prospect of having a job that included travel was appealing and before I knew it, I had a job interview scheduled for the next day. I was only half-convinced I\u2019d show up for it. <\/p>\n

The rest you can probably guess. I met with then editor-in-chief Van Varner, who explained that Guideposts was not a travel publication but the country\u2019s leading inspirational magazine featuring true personal stories of hope and inspiration, founded by Norman Vincent Peale<\/a>. Not exactly my beat. Despair and isolation would be more like it. He handed me a few recent issues, suggested I go home and read them and if I were interested call him back, and we could have lunch. The prospect of a free lunch was a motivator. <\/p>\n

I took the job, still thinking that it would only be for a year. That was in 1986, and I\u2019m still here. I discovered a career after all and along the way, with the help of your stories,<\/a> I found a relationship with God I longed for more than I knew. But I never did find out how that recruiter got a hold of my r\u00e9sum\u00e9.<\/p>\n

Retelling this story, it got me thinking. How many of you have had that one mysterious moment that changed the course of your life? A second chance, perhaps, or a chance encounter. Maybe you\u2019ll tell me about it here.<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
