Work

As do most deacons, I have a day job … my own business that I started 40 years ago. It’s paid my bills, educated my sons, and kept me fed and busy. I once enjoyed work … travel, meeting people, working in courthouses and libraries, talking to folks, writing and receiving letters. Then, some years ago, it became less fun, a slow change I did not discern. Winding down, the change becomes clear: No travel … no telephone or letters … no going about seeing people … only the computer … me alone, every day with the glowing screen, emails, the websites with all those ads.
