These often centered around whether what I was doing at the time counted as 'work'. The point being that since I don't get paid to work, then what I did was not therefore 'work'! This question brings to the front some of the problems I have been struggling with. Facing the prospect of not being stipendiary and 'tentmaking' instead. I have been working at raising my design and print business from being a glorified hobby to an income earning concern. As you might imagine, this is taking a lot of time. My struggle is that I have not had to do this before, I really have been free to follow whatever I saw God doing. I am sure this series of blogs, albeit spaced out ones, will grapple more with this. Hope you are well…? Hi Paul

Do you think that there's much of a practical difference between a stipend and a salary, even though there is a philosophical difference? After all its regular money coming into the bank isn't it? Or is it more about what you do, and different expectations of 9-5 workers vs. ministers? It’s good that you’re blogging again.
