"The maid who sweeps her kitchen is doing the will of God just as much as the monk who prays-- not because she may sing a Christian hymn as she sweeps but because God loves clean floors.
The Christian shoemaker does his duty not by putting little crosses on the shoes, but by making good shoes, because God is interested in good craftsmanship."
--Martin Luther

Awesome quote, Dana. Bryan often illustrates this point by saying that when he gets on a plane, he's not so concerned that he has a Christian pilot. He's way more concerned that he has a GOOD pilot. :) There are some wonderful little nuggets buried in Leviticus and Deuteronomy about God commanding that the best craftsmen be used to build or decorate His commanded projects. It pleased Him to have things done in an excellent way. It has inspired me so often when I venture into my creative arenas.
