QUOTE : So how come you never became a minister?” “I went to seminary because after years of trying I couldn’t make a living by writing. Then, almost as soon as classes started, I was offered a job at the Times. Eventually, I decided to go with the thing I’d spent so many years trying to do.” “You would’ve been a great minister.” “I don’t know,” I said. “I’m not very politic or tolerant. People bug me.” “Really? You’re so nice. Everybody likes you.” “Hardly. But thanks,” I said. “Why, are you thinking of ministry?” “When Jaz starts kindergarten, I plan to go back to school. It’s either seminary or becoming a shrink.
