OK, let's be analytical, shall we?
I said to forget about Chili's and Cornerstone as foundational right? That would also include Bill's description regarding Cornerstone and what he is doing there. None of this is relevant.
What does that leave to consider?
1. It actually is something you are going to be doing soon also.
Start here! What are YOU going to be doing soon? Each OBVIOUS answer is a working hypothesis.
2. Though Bill will be doing it on a higher level.
Now test your hypotheses. For each one, ask: Is it something Bill could do at a higher level? (You may need additional info to answer this affirmatively, but if it is at least possible, that is, if the question makes practical sense, you are on the right track.
3. This will enable him to do something else in the future that will benefit lots of people.
Now test your hypothesis again. If Bill's doing of this thing (the same thing you're doing at the higher level) will enable him to enrich and benefit others someday, the hypothesis still works.
4. Bill is very scared about the whole thing, but he KNOWS it is God.
If you can see why some person might be nervous about engaging in this kind of endeavor (and perhaps why Bill might be such a person), then your hypothesis is plausible. If it is possible that God might lead someone to do this, then your answer is likely enough to suggest as an answer to the riddle.
NOTE: Critical questions to ask yourself at every step of the way:
Am I really reaching with my answer?
Is my answer illogical instead of obvious?
Am I on acid?
If the answer to any of these is YES, you should go back and try again.
(If the answer to the third is YES, you should check yourself into a rehab.)
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
