Work 1: An Angel at Reception

I've decided to begin a series of blogs on the subject of work/study. From a Christian perspective I wonder if sometimes we don't get our focus right in this area. I hope what I have to say will be of interest to both Christians and non-Christians.

It was wonderful to see at a reception in one work place someone wearing little pink angel's wings the other day ... I gather this "craziness" is part of a reaction to recent proposals to change things. It says to me something very important - "Hey, look at us, we are humans who like to have fun, even while we work and not matter how others value our work, we value ourselves and our own little community." In other words - work and the work place exist for us, not us for work.
