Here is some background information:

I want to work, my friend offered me a job to work in 1-2 months. The job is to go door to door and sell newspapers.

I know the job may not sound "fun" or anything, but it pays, and I do not have a job, and being idle is a sin.

Also, I could have been a better son to my mother and a better grandson to my grandparents and a better brother to my brother and a better friend to my friends and overall a better family member to my family.

I stole from my family, got involved with drugs, and my mom had to pay a lot of money to bail me out of jail.

I want to redeem myself. I want to work. I want to work hard and take care of my family and take care of myself.

I want to be a better person, in the eyes of the Lord as well.

I just want to know if this job is honorable, if I'm doing it for the right reasons. It's just....you know how solicitors kind of pressure people to buy things?

What if I tell people about my circumstances and my goals and don't put pressure on them to buy things? I mean, I am coming to them for help, for money,

but I don't want to sin in order to do good, because.....I don't want to sin, I want to be favored in the eyes of the Lord, and I want to help my family and I need to take care of

myself as well.

i think any job where you put in effort to make money in a legal manner is honorable.

best of luck!
