Lot of job options for Kim Davis

To the editor:
There are solutions to the job problems of Kim Davis, the county clerk in Kentucky who refused to issue marriage licenses to same-sex couples. I think she should resign and apply for a job at Hobby Lobby. There is a man in Iowa who could put in a word for her - Rep. Steve King who is far to the religious right. I don't know if he approves of marriage-divorce followed by marriage-divorce followed by marriage-divorce, etc., but I have observed that the far right has no problems with sex. If King cannot help, I am sure Mike Huckabee can.
If she works for Hobby Lobby, she wouldn't have to wait on two women who come into the store together or two men. The store is large enough and she could disappear. She would have to wait on a man and a woman who came in together who might have children with them. This situation could be murky because we don't know if the children are hers, his, theirs or whose. We will have to skip that problem. I have not figured out what to do about transsexuals. I'm quite sure God will forgive her if she makes a mistake here.
If this job does not work out, she should start her own business. She could find partners like her and become a corporation.
I feel qualified to give this advice because I am considered to be a Christian, been baptized in and gone to the same church for 95 years (no kidding).
