Just Whistle While You Work

This post is building off of a verse that I talked about in my last post "Time." I'm still mad that part of it is black...oh well.

This post WAS going to be about pain, but I'll save that one for when I have more plausible material. I know it's been a while since I posted. I'm sorry...I know you missed me. But I'm back!

A lot of what a college kid has to learn about is working. I know that most college freshman don't have a job (whereas I don't really have a choice) but we still have to work at school, right? Well last night I had to close at work. I was not a very happy camper because we were one person short so nobody could maintain the lobby as well as it needed to be. So needless to say it was a MESS when it came time to lock the doors.

At first I was not very happy at the prospect of it taking me an extra 30 minutes longer than it normally does to close the lobby because it is normally all swept by ten o'clock and I didn't even get started until 9:55. But as time went on and I was bee-bopping to the crappy rock music that was on I began to think of 1 Corinthians 10:31 "whatever you do....do it to the glory of God."

This brings up a good point about us Christians. Don't you find that when you are given a task you find it hard to fulfill it half-way or is that just my OCD talking? Well, another woman I greatly admire who is to blame for my OCD tendencies (my mommy!) thinks the same way. All the time we witness people not giving their all for what they are supposed to be doing. However, we find it difficult to leave a job half done.

OCD or not, this is how it should be! Do everything as if you were doing it for the LORD (and with a happy heart at that). Would you really only do a job half-way for the LORD of the universe? I think not. So why don't  we work like that for our earthly authorities so that we can show the love of God through our work ethic?

This argument may be a bit more scatter brained than I intended...but I think you get the point.
