Slowing Down at Work
So I think my boss wants me to not work so fast. Mainly because I run out of things to do during the day. But that is the problem with office work, it is so mindless it seems that I do not have to think of what I am doing I just do it. I also think that I am working fast because I remember that I am to work as working for the Lord. I do not think that I can slow down when I think that Jesus is my boss. I guess if my boss is suppose to represent Christ, then I will have to slow down. To make sure that I am obedient. I think that if it took more thought then I would not do it so fast. Or if it required more detail then it would not be so mindless and fast. But since everything is already to typed out in form letters it makes it easy to copy make new letters and stuff.
I have also been carving an icon for my friends’ Kevin and Kaylen’s wedding present. I have had to go slow on it. One reason is because it is only the second time I have carved something. Two is that it is a slow process, because not only am I depicting our Lord, Christ. But also because it takes a long time to try and get everything even. Lastly, because I am not an artist and it is really hard for me. I really enjoy being able to create something with my hands. I do not think that I could do it as a profession but it would be nice to do it more often. If I do become a monk I think that I will be doing this a lot in my “free time.”
Well other then reading a lot of stuff and trying to find out what classes I am going to take and working that is about all that is going on with me. Hope you all have a great day and may the God of Peace have mercy on you and bless you. Shalom.
