There was going to be a discussion of how our choices matter and I was going to cite examples of this fact in scripture for tonight's blog. While I do feel that's important and will likely share that vein of thought before the year is through, I just didn't feel it tonight. I really intended to go for it this morning, but now that I'm at the keyboard this evening... Meh. The last thing I want to do is regurgitate concepts I've heard from other people, biblical podcasts or even myself from previous posts when I'm running on fumes.
I finished some technical illustrations (which I do enjoy creating) and a procedure for work, which will help guide the installation of a new mainframe computer system. It felt good, knowing I "pushed the boulder a little further along" today, but my heart wasn't invested in it. Sometimes I wonder if what I do actually matters. How ironic, when contrasting that thought against what I was originally going to speak about tonight. Of course our choices and actions matter!
After a family dinner of spaghetti and meatballs, it was time to clean up and get into the nightly routine of preparing for sleep. The kids are in bed and my wife is finally home from picking up our eldest son from church. As she strolled through the door, she shared a scripture with me which seemed rather timely tonight. It was given to her by a dear friend and was intended for our son, as a word of encouragement to ignite a passion for working hard and succeeding in his assignments.
I'm apparently not above this lesson, either.
Colossians 3:23
Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for men
Good Night
