Work-ship

Work allows me to demon­strate integri­ty. Work allows me to pro­vide for my fam­i­ly and oth­ers in need. My work often allows me to con­nect with non-believers. Work allows me to live out His call­ing upon me life and to expe­ri­ence His power in the midst of daily chal­lenges. Is my work a place of worship? It clearly can be if handled properly. 
Doing some reading and research for our homeschooling program and ran across a profound statement by Rebecca Rupp, ‘…an intense interest in anything inevitably leads everywhere.’
C. S. Lewis once said, “You do not have a soul. You are a soul. You have a body.” To balance anything, I have to know something about the pieces and then how they compare to each other. Balance is a verb. First, I have to perceive that the state of things is not balanced. This takes humility on my part. Next, action is required to reverse the trend away from imbalance while there is hope of restoring the desired balance.

We had a fun getaway Friday and Saturday. While the vikingdwarves were at home with my sister-in-law, we were able to have some alone time together in #Branson. The @ChateauOTL was beautiful. @Whfc & @GaryTSmalley shared some deep insights on marriage relationships. What follows here are a few of my notes:

1) Disagreements in a marriage (or really just about any relationship) are an invitation to greater intimacy. They are opportunities to learn more about your spouse and find common ground on something important to both.

2) My success in marriage is directly tied to my ability to value my wife. Her opinions and feelings are no less important than my own. She is handcrafted by the Creator to complete me.

3) Marriage is a lifetime commitment. When given the right priority and training, my marriage is full of joy, laughter, peace and harmony. It is the bedrock of everything else in life and will withstand the trials of life.

4) Sex is amazing! Romance and pursuit of beautiful experiences that engage all of our senses can bring me closer to my wife with energy I can only describe as exhilarating. Our bodies and our desires for each other are gifts from the Creator.

Entrepreneurship is the pursuit of opportunity without regard to resources currently controlled.

#EntreLeadership is already on my list to read. After reading Trent Hamm’s review I’m thinking I might read this one sooner rather than later. Here’s a section from Mr Hamm’s review I found especially insightful:

“Spine­less Leader” Is an Oxy­moron 
The best thing you can do as a leader is to make deci­sions quick­ly based on the infor­ma­tion you have and be able to explain why you made those deci­sions. “Lead­ers” who don’t make deci­sions tend to lead orga­ni­za­tions that fall apart. Lead­ers who make deci­sions with­out bas­ing them on infor­ma­tion tend to make hor­ri­ble deci­sions. Lead­ers who make deci­sions based on infor­ma­tion but can’t explain them tend to sow mis­trust with their team.

If we would only give the same amount of reflection to what we want out of life that we give to the question of what to do with two weeks’ vacation. We would be startled at our false standards and the aimless procession of our busy days. – Dorothy C Fisher
