Bradley: I admire you for accepting such a challenge. Of course, I’ll be praying for you and wish I could be present. After reading your post, I went searching for a quotation by Willaim Carey, shoe cobbler turned missionary. Here’s what I found in a message by an old minister from Birmingham, England: William Carey, “the father of modem missions,” was once asked what his business was. He replied: “My business is preaching the gospel, and I cobble shoes to pay expenses!”

“There is no distinction made, in the New Testament, between so-called “clergy” and “laity.” Every Christian is viewed as “a minister,” which simply means “servant.” The terms “clergy” and “laity,” are absolutely foreign to New Testament language, which knows nothing of either! ” Stay close to Christ!

i can relate to this, even though i am not a ceo or a leader in a company. i wonder, and hope to see, just how this life of belonging to God and being led by the Holy Spirit creates the changes in my heart and the way i think about what i do and why i do it in all aspects of my earthly life.

some of the aspects, for instance, relationship with family, doing or not doing artwork, housework, the invisible walls that i or others have created that i have held onto, what is important.

i sense that it mainly comes down to giving and receiving the Love of God.

this is hard to put into words “showing Love to others”.

it seems to involve a different kind of sacrifice, and a different kind of gain, than what most of us are use to acknowledging.
