Good for you, your wife, and the people you're helping. The religious experiences I've had have shown me that the only attitude God strikes toward us is that of love. And when God gives you a hug so to speak it's the same hug regardless of who you are---for spiritual experiences are truly universal in nature. As for serving God Mr. Mac you may be heartened by this story. The delivery route I drive each day takes me down the same roads. Week after week I passed by this site that was being prepared to have a concrete slab poured on it. The site lay dormant for weeks as rain, time, and gravity packed the fill. A crew showed up (maybe 8-10 people) who picked perfect weather and poured the pad in short order. What happened next though is what impressed me most. Overnight,(it reminded me of my Hotshot days as a fire fighter and how "tent cities" appear and people mobilize so quickly when rallied to a cause), this site was swarming with 80-100 people who showed up in their travel trailers: carpenters, plumbers, electricians, brick masons, roofers, HVAC, you name it, they came, and in about five or six days they completed a new house of worship. Such a well co-ordinated effort by people I seldom see in the world today, and yes, they were Jehovah's Witness, witnessing beautifully to our world. Take care.
