its about life...

in the great words of my host "its about life", sure we are saved by grace and we should celebrate that and have security in our salvation but this life does matter. the parable about the talents has taken on a much greater meaning since being here, hearing and seeing that how we manage this life is a preparation for the next. much like an interview or a resume gets us a job so do our actions in this life get us a job in eternity. there will be a new kingdom we know this. but what we rarely hear about is how that kingdom is going to be run. the answer is with his people. he uses us and the skills that he has given us that we choose to master here on earth. we need to live everyday with this in mind as it is so against my thinking. what would the new kingdom be like if we were just sitting on clouds with cupid? fun? maybe for a day or two but not for the rest of time.

having gotten my speech out i suppose i should update on the activities that have taken place the past couple days. well I have been assigned a job, which has been a huge encouragement and a much needed sense of direction. i will be in charge of the creation of a new production line. i won't bore you with the product details and such unless you inquire but i will let you know that it has been a learning experience. i am learning and being pushed everyday it seems and i am loving it. i am not sure i loved it to begin with but i am realizing that problem solving really is something that i enjoy. so as for now i continue to soak up as much knowledge as possible and contribute 100%. sorry for no pictures yet again, i will try and work on that, i know that words just don't satisfy all the time.
