Oh, JohnChris,
I know what you mean. A while back I read a book called "48 days to the work you love" and it changed my percpective on work and play. This is one of the sayings out of he book...
“The masters in the art of living make little distinction between their work and their play, their labor and their leisure. Their minds and their bodies, their information and the their recreation, their love and their religion. They hardly know which is which; they simply pursue their vision of excellence at whatever they do leaving others to decide whether they are working or playing.” James A. Michener
If I remember correctly, in the Hebrew language, there is no word for "work". The word is "avo-da" and means "worship".
Anyhoo, it's really good information for those that want to think about changing professions or jobs. It asks the right type of questions like "What did you do as a kid that made you feel like you were 'in the zone'"? What do you just naturally think about that you enjoy throughout the day? What do you do when your NOT getting paid?
God has made so many different people, with so many cool and differing abilities, it's absolutely amazing!
I have a young friend who makes natural bird cages out of twigs and limbs he gets from the woods out by his home. He posts them on a website and people buy His hand made bird cages!!! That's how he makes a living!!!! AMAZING! So cool to see God doing all this stuff.
