The tugboat picture was taken in Douglas last weekend. Tugboats seems like they represent work. I've had a fair amount of time off over the past few weeks, and this weekend I am back to work. My schedule is pretty busy over the next few weeks. I always hate going back after time off, even though I usually enjoy my job once I get there. Thursday night as I was mentally organizing myself for the weekend, I got to thinking about the whole idea of work. Was this the way the Creator planned it? Was the time in the garden leisure or did Adam have work to do in caring for the garden, other than naming things. I wonder about this in light of the sabbath commandment. Then after the fall the whole thing about toil, and the sweat of your brow. Or did any work done in the garden just not seem like a burden prior to the fall? What was it like before sin spoiled everything?
Last night wasn't bad at all, often it isn't work I dislike, but the conflict with other parts of my life.
Wishing everyone a good weekend.
Shalom

I think work was a joy in the garden and creative as well and will be again just not on this earth in an everyday way.
