Well Tom I am with your freind on the work issue.I cannot comprehend a christian not working health permitting of course.Even when someone is classified as ill they can still serve very usefull purposes e.g.we have a lady in our church who has severe athritis yet she still contributes in many ways to the practical life of the church and the community.I share the frustration many others have that the welfare state here in the u.k.at least is counter productive IMHO.It is a sad joke here that many make a career out of being so called ill,while as always the real people who are ill do without.
