Quoted by Jay Jones: Organizational Work
Organizational work is not a step down. Nor is it a step up. All Kingdom work is a step sideways into the role God calls you to fulfill. Jesus’ parable of the talents expresses this.

Purity from the eyes of a schoolgirl
As a schoolgirl, I had the opportunity of touring a steel treating plant near Detriot, MI.

Everything Stinks?
Parosmia is an olfactory dysfunction characterized by the inability of the brain to properly identify an odor’s “natural” smell. Instead, the natural odor is transcribed into what is most often described as an unpleasant aroma, typically a “‘burned,’ ‘rotting,’ ‘fecal,’ or ‘chemical’ smell.” Titus 1:15 To the pure, all things are pure, but to those… Continue reading Everything Stinks?
