Rick Warren has made a good living with his Purpose Driven books. Another word for purpose is mission. In my other life, I worked in university admissions--particularly Christian college admissions. When I interviewed someone for a position, if the question came up about how much time it would take, it was at that point the person went to the bottom of my list. Why? Because to do such a chore could not be considered a job. It had to be a mission. Why are people so dissatisfied with their jobs? Because it isn't something they are passionate about. They are just going through the motions, just doing a job. When your job becomes your passion, your mission in life, that's when it's fun to wake up in the morning. If your job is being a stay-at-home mom, a corporate executive, or a preacher, getting up is exciting when your job (vocation, ministry, mission) is your passion. Find your mission. Pursue it mightily. Have fun while you're at it. Have a great day. It's Saturday! JW
