This post is timely for me. Having left my old career recently to pursue something I love, I've been slowly transforming that something into "work" instead of that fun thing that I love doing.
After all we don't get paid unless "work" gets done, and certainly not for having fun. Right?
What was I thinking?! Better get my own attitude in check.
You are speaking my language man! This is something I have been trying to engage with myself, and ingrain in others as well.
I post on it from time to time and will continue to do so until I have it figured out... for me that means at the day of my passing from this world!

Marcus, interesting message. It seems that you're really a devoted Christian. I guess I had the same symptom as you... rest for me feels like wasting time.. I think my calling is more like Martha than Mary =) I love what you say that work itself also includes rest! Robert

I'll take the fun and the money, please! :)

nancy's last blog post..yea!!!
A whole bunch of truth in this. Yes, I do better out of rest, both physically and spiriually.
It is odd that we're to work to rest. But when you think about it, it's not. And then out of this rest comes work.
It does remind me of simply abiding in the Vine, Jesus, and that only when we do that will we do anything worthwhile in God's eyes, bearing fruit.
