"So, what do you do all day at a church office?"

This was the question asked in a recent conversation with my neighbor. I was at Lowe's (a place where I find myself lusting after things I have no use for) and I ran into my neighbor. We were talking small talk, and then he asked the question.

My mind went it all directions, what do I say? Should I be flattered that he is interested in my occupation? Should I be offended by assuming he thinks I don't work hard? What do I say? Do I try to sound all scholarly and spiritual?

After my decision crisis, I told them my job is diverse. I'm a teacher, a counselor, a communicator, an administrator, a consultant, a psychiatrist, a therapist, a supervisor, a subordinate, an employee, a coach, and a servant. He stood there shocked. "how do you do it all? Don't you get tired?" "Yes, I do get very tired, but it's my calling, and I love making a difference"
