When I first became interested in Christian Science, I had just started an advertising agency. As I grew spiritually, I realized that my most important goal was to learn to rely on God more and to express goodness in my life and in my business.
One night when I was praying, it became clear to me that I didn't want to rely on income that came from selling products that could be harmful. My biggest accounts at that time were beer and tobacco companies. The next day I went to the people I'd done business with at these companies and politely explained to them that I could no longer handle their advertising.
Now I knew I had to trust God completely to guide me in how to support myself. And in fact, shortly after this I received the first order for an aerial marking system that I had developed a year or two before. Although the order was small, I was greatly encouraged. More orders followed, and since that time, this product has been bought by major oil, gas, energy, pipeline, electric, and telecommunications companies. Our business is the foremost provider of these products in the United States.
