...i mean living unreservedly in life's duties, problems, successes and failures, experiences and perplexities. in so doing we throw ourselves completely into the arms of God, taking seriously, not our own sufferings, but those of God in the world - watching with Christ in Gethsemane.
- bonhoeffer, writing from Tegel, 1944
the preacher says, what profit has the worker from that in which he labors? i have seen the God-given task with which the sons of men are to be occupied. he has made everything beautiful in its time.
- eccl. 3:9-11
whither the work-life balance? whither the giftings and the choices? perhaps, dare i say, the passion be in faithful pursuit of excellence faithful discharge of duty and faithful service to others.
