What Do You Do?
===========

“What do you do?”

People often ask me that question. In recent years I found it
increasingly difficult to answer.

At first I believed it was because I had a multitude of jobs.
I was a part of my family’s business that my father started.
I owned a business separate from that.
I was the pastor of a church.
I published MountainWings.

Even within the businesses my title was not clear. I am a
chemist by education but I’m no longer in the lab much.
I function more as an executive so “chemist” no longer fit.

People know me as a minister, but I won’t take a salary or any
money from the church. When people ask you “what do you do?”
they usually mean "How do you make money?"
So minister didn’t exactly fit either.

I sat in a class at the church one Saturday. The speaker was
talking about getting finances in order and about what you do.

I still didn't have a solid answer when people asked me the
question, then it became crystal clear in an instant.

I knew my destiny.
I knew exactly what I did.
I knew exactly what my passion was.
I knew exactly what I was called to do.

In that instant, the quandary that I struggled with for years
melted away into a very clear idea of what I did.

The company that I started with my youngest brother at
www.thewoman.com sells natural health products. It was
an extension of what my father did. Daddy was not in the health
products business but it was a personal passion of his.

He took sick people teas, juices and tinctures to help them get
well. We have daddy's passion but put it into a product and
multiplied his effectiveness ten thousand times.

I preach each week at the church and thousands listen to the
sermons each month from the net on www.TheOnLineWord.com or at
www.VirtualChurch.com.

MountainWings reaches people all over the world each day,
CryofTheSpirit.com does the same.

I realized what I do.

At last, I realized it.

If you are to ever truly achieve your divine mission here on
earth, you need to realize “what you do” and “what you are meant
to do.” It’s not just a plumber, doctor, lawyer, nurse, cashier,
mechanic, housewife, or a simple label that defines who you
really are and what you really do.

You are more than that.

Much more.

So what did I realize in that instant that I did...


I help people.

That’s it, that’s what I do. One way or another, I help people.

In every position that I have, whether I make money at it or
not, I help people.

Once that realization struck,
I realized everything else was secondary.

I just preached a sermon about this called, "Who Am I" and how
the world gives you a false idea of who you really are and what
you really do. The words after the television portion of the
sermon really hit home. And it's all at the link below.

So,

What do you do?
