I saw a book title on Amazon the other day, The Good-Enough Job, and it’s been nagging me since then. I mostly love my current job, but I think and worry about it 24/7. My first job out of HS was a punch-the-clock job which only took 8 hours of my day, leaving me the rest of the day to have a life of playful friendships and peaceful alone time.
Can’t decide if this wistfulness I feel for that is just about being an adult now, or a legitimate complaint about how much of your life your work should take from you.
Tripp you have swallowed, or better choked on, the pill of capitalism and its hold on our souls. Look around you every day and see who you are and who you have. Trish, EP, and Duke all love you as do many of us who read your thoughts online and feel with you.You ARE NOT what you do, how much money you make or how influential you may be. You are God’s divinely created servant and he finds in you the light of the Son.
Shine On and when you feel your brightness diminishing Plug In. Not to work or liturgy and ethnomusicology. Not to politics, news or theology. Plug into His presence and listen to His voice. When you do that, you will feel your light strengthening and your life once again useful.
Oh my friend. Shitfire, and yeah. Watch your inbox.
