Artists/Writers/Musicians are going to have to do the same and persevere in doing what He asks. Ultimately, the Audience of One knows His plans for each of us.

How do we find another source of income if papers have cut back all raises (8years running), but online writers can't make an income without attracting advertisers to pay for it. (As in, does Novel Matters have a revenue stream at all, or is it just for help and encouragement) Discounting John Grisham, et. al. there's never been a lot of money in writing. But a newspaper man, gifted by God with a writing skill, still needs to put food on the table.

I just watched a film, Searching for Sugar Man, about a man "cheated" of the recognition and wealth he might have enjoyed, had anyone told him what an impact his music had made - and how many records sold - in a country far away. I don't know if he follows Jesus, but I wonder if I could live my life with the depth of grace he has shown. <br /><br />By the way, Gladwell is a favorite author of mine, and I believe he renewed his relationship with Jesus in the writing of David and Goliath.
