Frederick Buechner “The place where your deep gladness meets the world’s deep need”

1 Thessalonians 4:11-12 “Make it your ambition to lead a quiet life: You should mind your own business and work with your hands, just as we told you, so that your daily life may win the respect of outsiders and so that you will not be dependent on anybody.”

John 5:17 Jesus said to them, “My Father is always at his work to this very day, and I too am working.”
