Friday Night without Fellowship

IMG_3687There’s no fellowship tonight, and with nothing else better to do, I stayed and worked in the studio.  I have no life, I know.

My friend and I was recently notified that our application for a handcraft fair on Sept.10-11 was accepted, it’ll be a great opportunity to finally reveal to the outside world some of my designs and ideas, and I am very happy about it.  However, recently I started to question myself about the meaning of my work.  What’s the meaning of designing objects and selling them?  Besides, having successfully applied for the fair, I’ll have to sell the products on a Sunday which I considered as a day of rest.  I couldn’t help but be reminded of the episode when Jesus angrily cleared the temple merchants on a Sabbath day.

I suppose I can switch the day of rest to Monday that week like many clergies in church?  And in the biblical days, even Paul needed to work as tentmakers in order to be self-sufficient while preaching the Good News, right?  I suppose designing and selling objects can be my way to be self-sufficient in modern days?
