Monday Motivator:
Blognotes: apologies for the lack of a post on Saturday. I’d be lying if I said anything other than… I forgot completely. Also, the slow loading times will hopefully be alleviated this week when the image server I’ve used thus far comes back online. I hope. Of course, if they manage to scramble the URLs, the images might not match at all what I originally posted.
Another Monday… I’m awfully glad to see it come, I’ll be glad-er to see it go. Does Gladder get two Ds, as in Ladder? I guess probably… otherwise, it’d just be Glader. And that’s something you plug in to your bathroom outlet.
Seriously, though, if you want some motivation for your week, I strongly recommend the parable of the Talents in Matthew 25:14-30. The Bible is certainly not short of motivators, and this one is so multi-layered it hurts. Believers say that everything we do has eternal consequences. The parable of the Talents expounds that a little. There’s a man who delegates authority over large sums of money to three of his workers, according to their abilities. Two of them work hard and receive joy and reward. The third buries the cash and returns it as it was to the master and gets thrown in the street.
That’s heady stuff. What are you doing with what you’ve been given?
