Am I in "ministry"?

A reader, with a sweet last name, asked me if I was "in ministry". I have been thinking about this question off and on for the last few days. What exactly does it mean to be "in ministry"? I decided to consult good ol' Webster. Looking up ministry doesn't get me very far; the office, duties, or functions of a minister. Alrighty then, so on to minister. The noun form is too religious for my tastes; one officiating or assisting the officiant in church worship. I don't even think most people in the church define minister that narrowly. So what does the verb form have to say; to give aid or service. AH HA I like that one. When you ministers you give aid or service. Let's see, what do I do all day? I fix meals, and wipe butts, kiss booboos, break up fights and correct misbehaviors and instruct in the teachings of the Bible. I am a mom. I think I am "in ministry".
