Working is...You know me, I always have a comment.<BR/><BR/>1. Working is certainly a source of meaning in life. MAybe not the only one, but it is one. I know I'm using my talents well, and I'm making a visible difference in the lives of children in a very important way. I don't mean to be arrogant, I'm certainly not an experienced teacher, but the special education teaching field in general is crucial.<BR/><BR/>2. If I had more money than God, I'd probably do something else constructive with my time. I'd get bored and get into trouble if I didn't. I don't think there's any hard and fast rule about what you need to do.<BR/><BR/>3. You don't HAVE to work if you don't need to. But if you need to, especially to provide income for your family, then I think you need to get priorities in order and work because God wants us to take care of our families.<BR/><BR/>4. I think any job can, but some may choose not to, and might not lend themselves to talking about God, at least while on the clock. I choose not to spread my faith through my job directly. Public schools are not the place to talk about religion. I could lose my job or get sued and I'd rather be teaching my kids than anything else. I'd never lie about it, but make it a point not to do anything that resembles telling kids that thats the only way to believe while I'm still standing up holding the chalk.<BR/><BR/>5.
