Fun that Matters?

To love what you do and feel that it matters -- how could anything be more fun?
- Katherine Graham

Ever just long to have fun? You can if you will do something that you enjoy, and it has meaning. Not just silly mindless games but doing something that will make a difference. It may seem so small and insignificant but it will matter to someone, even if that someone is you! JUST HAVE FUN WITH IT!

Brian, my idea of fun is hanging out with you and Jana.

BTW, thank you for being such a fantastic teacher!

Mark Pryor said...

Brian, good post. It brings a whole new perspective on fun.

I agree with Deb, we have a lot of fun hanging out with ya'll...but it is because our conversation is such that we go from just "cutting up" to discussing deep theological topics and back again...so it's definitely fun that matters. :-)

Pastor Allard, you are so right when you say to just have fun, Yes, it is what you do to have the fun, just spending time with family and friends are great times, we have learned that to just spend time and not always money is the best fun we can have, Hope to see you all soon, I miss being in Delano, Love you all Cheri

When you are doing something that you feel matters, the distiction between work and play seems to vanish. But "mindless games" have their place. Sometimes we need a mental breather, before we can make work play once again. "The mind is willing but the flesh is [weary]." Helen

It is often in the "mindless games" we find a fresh release of creativity.

FUN?!?!? That's you! I never know what to expect from you after 28 years! You know Mark was right. It is in the silly moments when we are relaxing that creative thoughts spring forth. When you and I, Mark and Debbie get together, there is no telling what we will end up creating! It is fun. All of our deep thoughts would get boring if we didn't have funny moments interspersed.
