For what purpose?
Power and influence over others.
Quote:Let me get this straight, somehow we have a guy who pastors a church and worked a full time job because he refused to take an offering for 17 years of his ministering career, and being a single father on top of that (first wife died in her late teens - early 20's), but somehow found the time to practice magic on top of it all.
Hows that for critical thought...
Let's see -- I work a full-time job, do upgrades to a 100-year-old house, take clarinet lessons, play woodwinds in multiple bands (2 rehearsals and 2 gigs from last Saturday to this coming Thursday alone), and still manage to travel, do photography, go to the symphony and ballet, read regularly, do a bit of gourmet cooking, go for an occasional hike, and get out to the local observatory and Astronomical Society meetings. (Oh, and I'm looking for someone to tutor me in stage magic, which I've loved since I was a little kid.) Consider your counter-argument pounded to a bloody pulp.
