Some Monday’s are particularly hard to get up and go to work.  This one started off that way, along with a little guilt, compliments of a book I purchased yesterday.   Now I know you can’t believe everything you read (this blog is proof of that) but sometimes I find it hard to ignore advice when it comes from a prominent, well respected writer.   

One message of the book in question could be summarized thus:  If you are doing what God has uniquely gifted you to do, you will enjoy going to work.  If that is true, then there are a whole bunch of us who are not doing what God has in mind for us.  It’s not that I hate my job, but if I had the choice, I would definitely pick a week-end over a week-day.

I am sure some might suggest that I change my job, but I can’t help but wonder if the writer of a letter to the Phillipians might have another suggestion.  This author said he had learned to be content anywhere, which makes me think:  What really needs to change?  Is it my job . . . or my attitude?
