The Sheep of His Flock—Eleventh Sunday of Ordinary Time (Cycle A)
Exodus 19:2–6a; Romans 5:6–11; Matthew 9:36–10:8
About 19 years ago, I was offered a contract position at HP working on a program that really fit right into my niche. And the manager who brought me on gave me better terms than what I had asked for or expected. In short, because he knew the value of my background and the freedom he had with his budget, he knew more than I did about what he could offer. I worked for him for almost 7 years, when he had to let my contract expire because of budgetary pressures. However, he stayed in touch with me, and he looked for opportunities to bring me back. Finally, in 2021, he found a role for me as a full-time member of his team, and he brought me back into the fold.
