His replacement was busy with a customer. Two working days earlier, the receptionist was barely able to hide her pain, informing over the phone that the office had emptied to attend the burial of a young rising star with so much professional potential. A familiar scene was being replayed. For the profits to roll in, work had to continue. Ultimately, and in spite of the efforts of this man, it was a matter of a minute?s silence.

?For there is a man whose labour is in wisdom, and in knowledge, and in equity; yet to a man that hath not laboured therein shall he leave it for his portion. This also is vanity.? – Ecclesiastes ? 2: 21 (KJV)

Walk in godly wisdom; no man is indispensable.
Let the Son shine in your heart daily.
