Gary,
You are absolutely correct. You have been blessed with talents that most of us don’t have, and also have to pay for. Sometimes my DIY projects work out but many times they don’t.
The older I get, the more my “green to grief ratio” changes. It’s something that my father taught me when I was young, and it makes even more sense now.
"...aspire to live quietly, and to mind your own affairs, and to work with your hands, as we instructed you, so that you may walk properly before outsiders and be dependent on no one." - Paul to the church in Thessalonica.
