Mark 6:30-31 30 The apostles gathered around Jesus, and told him all that they had done and taught. 31 He said to them, "Come away to a deserted place all by yourselves and rest a while."
I doubt if any of us are bored very often in this day and age. The important thing is to look at what we are doing and ask ourselves if we are just doing busy work or if we are doing the work that Jesus sent us out to do. It’s kind of like counting calories, however. Don’t just assume you know what you are doing, try keeping a running journal of actual time spent:
7:15 – arrive at church and get settled in the office cleaning up the paper from Sunday morning (check for leftover cookies in the downstairs refrigerator)
7:45 – call up Blog files and clean them out getting ready to write up on a regular basis (hopefully)
8:15 – call the hospital and see who is in from our church.
8:30 – Blog some more and ask ‘did I miss anything’ – answer: how about a morning devotional from my “Pilgrim’s Almanac”
Give it a try, see if you learn anything about yourself!
