sunshine through the fog

Surprised to see new posts, since you haven't posted in a long time :)

Anyway, just to point out something that many people don't notice - even in the garden of Eden, before Adam and Eve took the fruit and sinned, they worked - as gardeners to tend the lovely garden. So human beings are made to work. Of course before sin entered the world, work wasn't tough or frustrating. For Adam, it was thoroughly enjoyable. But that doesn't take away the fact that work is an integral part of everyone's lives. Once you take work away, there will be negative consequences.

So no one should stop working. Only the nature of work changes - e.g. from paid to non-paid (for a retiree), or full to part time etc. And of course, to be able to do work that one truly enjoys (not all the time since that's hardly possible, but most of the time) is a real blessing. :)

i'm surprised (and delighted) that you're still checking in! :)

that was interesting... didn't know Adam & Eve were gardeners!

i guess that's the real difficulty right? finding work that one truly enjoys. how many of us can actually say that?
