This is how I want to live

I attended a conference last week where Kevin Carroll was one of the speakers. I first became aware of Kevin many years ago when he spoke at a business meeting I attended. During his talk last week he shared the following quote from James Michener:
“The master in the art of living makes little distinction between his work and his play, his labor and his leisure, his mind and his body, his information and his recreation, his love and his religion. He hardly knows which is which. He simply pursues his vision of excellence at whatever he does, leaving others to decide whether he is working or playing. To him he's always doing both.”
This is the type of integrated life that I want to live. Some days I feel like I am getting closer to this goal but lately I feel like it is getting further away. Must be time to think about making some adjustments.

How about you?

I love this...we just need to do what we love and love what do...
sometimes though this is way easier said than done when trying to earn a living in society today.

Alas, this is a reminder of how far I still need to go...

I am adjusting by retiring, but not from life. I certainly pray the Lord has something more to do for Him, wherever we are.
