Maybe I'll get around to making a dent in it some day. But this too is meaningless when I consider other important persuits. <BR/><BR/>It's such a tricky balancing act!

The attitude that one has to always be producing whether it's at work, or quality time with the family, or doing household chores is not a Biblical perspective as I read it. We get caught up in this American idea that unless a person is always doing something "productive" the person must be lazy and not worth much.<BR/><BR/>We need to rediscover the power of Sabbath time and the grace that is a part of that.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10158261.post-1157510248111946592006-09-05T22:37:00.000-04:002006-09-05T22:37:00.000-04:00I'm almost positive that this will be a topic on m...I'm almost positive that this will be a topic on my own blog in the near future...it's been on my mind a lot lately, too, especially as summer winds down.Tinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14393381752572491969noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10158261.post-1157461531798690042006-09-05T09:05:00.000-04:002006-09-05T09:05:00.000-04:00As I've told more than one person, if you're ironi...<EM>As I've told more than one person, if you're ironing t-shirts, you need to get yourself a hobby.</EM><BR/><BR/>LOL!
