A baker is someone who bakes and sells bread, Cakes and similar foods may also be produced, as the traditional boundaries between what is produced by a baker as opposed to a pastry chef have blurred in recent decades. The place where a baker works is called a bakery.
The first group of people to bake bread were ancient Egyptians, around 8000 BC. During the Middle Ages it was common for each landlord to have a bakery, which was actually a public oven; Housewives would bring dough that they had prepared to the baker, who would tend the oven and bake them into bread. As time went on, bakers would also sell their own goods, and in that some bakers acted dishonestly, tricks emerged: for example, a baker would have trap door(s) in the oven or other obscured areas, that would allow a hidden small boy or other apprentice to take off some of the dough brought in for baking. Then the dishonest baker would sell bread made with the stolen dough as their own. This practice and others eventually lead to the famous regulation known as Assize of Bread and Ale, which prescribed harsh penalties for bakers that were found cheating their clients or customers. As a safeguard against cheating, under-filled orders, or any appearance of impropriety, bakers commonly began to throw in one more loaf of bread; this tradition now exists in the phrase "baker's dozen", which is 13.

Heidi Baker (born 1959) is a Christian missionary and with her husband Rolland co-founder of IRIS Ministries and the author of several books.
With her husband Rolland, Heidi founded IRIS Ministries in 1980, a non-profit Christian ministry dedicated to Jesus and service, especially among the poor. After twelve years ministering in Asia, they left in 1992 to do their PhD's at King's College London, UK. In 1995 they started a new ministry to the poor and homeless children in Mozambique. Beginning with nothing, within a matter of months they were given a dilapidated orphanage in Maputo with 80 children. From there, the ministry has expanded to include well-drilling, free health clinics that service the poor and sick, feeding programs, primary and secondary schools, cottage industries and 5000 churches in Mozambique and a total of over 8,000 churches in over 20 nations. There are multiple 'bases' with Bible schools, as well as community outreaches and top-ranked public schools. In September 2008 Iris Ministries started a well digging project in Northern Mozambique.. Their ministry is known for its reports of miracles, and in September 2010 the Southern Medical Journal published an article presenting evidence of "significant improvements" in auditory and visual function among subjects exhibiting impairment before receiving prayer from the ministry.
Strange fear I ain't felt for years
The boy's coming and I'm close to tears
I can't let go of you now
Imagination's playing round for free
In my world I take him out for tea
Oh my God, I can't say no
Skipping school, go walk for air
I just had to get out of bed
I'm on overload in my head
Train comes, I don't know its destination
It's a one way ticket to a madman situation
Train comes, I don't know its destination
It's a one way ticket to a madman situation
Life is a dream, time does come true
And in my sleep I think of you
Feather bed by myself
Basically probability
Says that fate's come side with me
It's been so long on my shelf
Train comes, I don't know its destination
It's a one way ticket to a madman situation
Train comes, I don't know its destination
It's a one way ticket to a madman situation
The tension is incredible, boy I'm in charge
You know how I feel for you
Will you stop or will you just keep going
Please don't say no, no, no, no
Train comes, I don't know its destination
It's a one way ticket to a madman situation
Train comes, I don't know its destination
It's a one way ticket to a madman situation
Train comes, I don't know its destination
It's a one way ticket to a madman situation
Train comes, I don't know its destination
It's a one way ticket to a madman situation
He sits in the car,
Walks in the park,
Waits in his room as the city gets dark.
He can't understand why he's falling apart.
It's never too late-
It's only too hard.
He locks all the doors,
Pulls down the shades.
He's not the same since he went away.
He can't figure out what to do with his days.
He's wasted his time.
Now he's wasting away.
He's wasting away.
He's wasting away.
