Dashes and the Spaces in Between

Dashes and the Spaces in Between The following graphic represents the "typical" workday. The question is: When are the God moments during the day. When are the God moments between your dashes and spaces. What do you want your dashes and spaces look like on any particular day? Perhaps there are seconds, minutes, hours,  days, months, years that God wants to interrupt our work day. Does your workday have moments interrupted by God? Perhaps, some people have Godly moments, seconds, minutes, hours,  days, months, years interrupted by Work. Your mind was created to imagine and create. Work is the management of your creation.  Proverbs 22:29 (The Message) 29 Observe people who are good at their work—   skilled workers are always in demand and admired;    they don't take a backseat to anyone. Proverbs 22:29 (King James Version) 29Seest thou a man diligent in his business? he shall stand before kings; he shall not stand before mean men.  One of the issues of work is freeing our lives of work for His glory. In exchange for freeing our lives of work, we manage the work day. We free our lives so that our God moments, imagination, creativity increase. The problems you solve in life determines $ reward you receive. No God in the workplace? No God moments in the workplace.   Gen 3:8 And they heard the voice of the LORD God walking in the garden in the cool of the day: and Adam and his wife hid themselves from the presence of the LORD God amongst the trees of the garden.  9And the LORD God called unto Adam, and said unto him, Where art thou?  10And he said, I heard thy voice in the garden, and I was afraid, because I was naked; and I hid myself. A typical workday usually includes periods of work (represented below with dashes) and periods of not working (represented by the spaces between the dashes): Although the specific placement of dashes and spaces may vary, what's important to notice is that some of the work-dashes are longer than others -- and some of the non-work-spaces are shorter than others. (For you contrarians out there, note that the opposite is also true!) It's an interesting phenomenon: Some people prefer to space their work and take regular breaks throughout the day. Some people prefer to bunch their work and then take longer breaks in between the bunches. Some people prefer to bunch their work and then leave early. Some people prefer to arrive late and then bunch their work. Most people, though, never consider that they can even change how they work. The relevant question, though, is this: What do you want your dashes and spaces look like on any particular day? Try experimenting with what works best for you. You may be surprised with what you learn.   l
