Mistakes are the greatest renewable
resource on earth.

In writings about simple church, one
subject that comes up, in part because, unlike theological points,
there is no universal answer, and because many of the writers were
institutional church pastors, or went through education pointed
towards the standard system “occupations”, is how to earn a
living. I have not written much about that because my life story
includes a feature which halted my path in that direction before I
started. Nonetheless, during my senior year of college, my thinking
was to get a degree, and then go to seminary. At that time, I was
working at a department store, so I stayed there immediately after
graduating. Various things happened such that my work career can be
summed up as working in retail. About six years ago, some physical
problems knocked me out of the work force. That has been a source of
some frustration, but gave me time to do the writings that made up
the beginning of this blog.
Anyway, one blessing, I perceive, in
my life is being able to live in my son's house. He is in the Navy.
Last fall, he had to choose whether to reinlist or not, and he chose
not to. He decided to start an auction business when he got out, and
started planning accordingly. To that effect, about two months ago,
I went to auction school, and have since finished, took the state
test, and received my auctioneering license, so that I can help him.
I write this in that our first auction will be online, consisting of
collectable coins. As such, if collectable currency is something you
are intrested in either as a hobby or as part of your personal
financial strategy, this will be available to you, wherever you are.
I will leave more information very soon.
