Each event has forced me to confirm or deny my priorities with God, family, friends, work, and entertainment.  It is often a work event that seeks to put itself above the other important areas.  For a short time, a higher priority on work actually brings higher self-confidence because of the kudos from those to whom I report.  However, after time the other areas begin to erode.  Work can be an addiction - an escape from real life.  As Jesus said, if we hang onto our life tightly, we will lose it, but if we give it up for God (and as a result, family and friends - God&#39;s #1 priority for us is loving people) we will find it.  Whenever I&#39;m at one of these crossroads, I like to watch the move &quot;Regarding Henry&quot; with Harrison Ford.  It is a powerful reminder of what is important.  I have been &quot;Henry&quot; too many times.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- AtPeace</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1237262/posts/default/1237380'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1237262/posts/default/1237380'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://peace.blogspot.com/2000_10_29_archive.html#1237380' title=''/><author><name>Anonymous</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='https://img1.blogblog.com/img/blank.gif'/></author></entry></feed>
