"The very act of becoming an entrepreneur is contrarian to middle class values, study hard, get a good job, be happy with secure income and steady salary."
- Rashmi Bansal -
I have to pause today. Right now.
I must take a few minutes to express my gratitude to my LORD Jesus.
Pausing to say "Thank You."

2017 was a very rough year.
Funds were tight. Work was scarce. Jobs were few and far between.
In other words, I was hungry for work and for essential sustenance.
I was--figuratively--hungry.

The enterprise was slow.
Sales were down. Companies owed us money.
Sales were very, very slow.

I did odd jobs.
I created a control system for a machine that packaged catnip. I designed and built theater props. I parted with some Steem. I sold odds and ends. I was scrambling to survive.
I did odd jobs. Very odd.

I've been learning a lot.
I'm working with great colleagues. The work is fascinating. Our clients are happy, and want us to do more. Compensation is outstanding.
"He brought me out into a broad place;
he rescued me, because he delighted in me."
- Psalm 18:19
THANK YOU, Jesus,
for putting me in a "wider place."
