Welcome back! Wait a minute. You didn’t you click through to Inside Work yet? You just kept reading? Seriously. Click through. They get it. I’m giving you a second chance to do the right thing here.

OK. Welcome back again. That was the biggest hat tip I’ve ever given anyone. But I really do love their site.
Now you can watch this video I found while I was there on a Tuesday morning trolling the network for features. We’re slowly getting things back in order around here and returning to our original pattern of featuring people who understand what it means to integrate faith into our daily work.
The folks at Inside Work definitely understand. So watch the video. Then go read Jim Hancock’s thoughts about it. He asks three haunting questions:
- What’s most important to you?
- What distracts you from what’s most important?
- Do you have — or can you get — someone on your team to help you let what’s important be important to you?

Thanks, Marcus, for the HT. We appreciate it very much. It’s great to be connected with the High Calling tribe as we encourage one another in the marketplace and work to transform the soul of commerce by glorifying God in all we do.
Oddly enough, I think that whatever I’m getting done is actually the stuff I want to get done. The other stuff is stuff someone probably thinks I should get done, or I wish I wanted to get done, or I may have a contract to get done (and so I really need to do it)… and yet, the stuff I’m getting done… that’s the heart of me, if I’m honest.
I sent a link to this video to a friend, who also shares this “weakness”.
Although she is drawn to a more task oriented distractions, and I to more of what I ‘d like to think are the roses we are to stop and smell , the friends to befriend , etc. At the end of the week when we vent and chat on our runs, she feels like a slave to endless chores with empty soul, and I feel like I am guilty of sneaking away from necessary drudgery and commitments to feed mine. A balance is key I suppose.
I watched this video instead of getting my stuff done.
But guess what? It “fed my soul” for an instant (three cheers to Deb who takes the time to feed her soul!)
Now, back to prepping for that strategy presentation – with renewed vigor and insight!
thanks Marcus; you are most kind sir.
I think that’s a very sad story of a man who wants to have things done. Sometimes we’re guilty of this. we can be very busy at a lot of things that we even forget to pray.
