But Why Saturday's??? (From 2011)

So I'm sitting here on a hot, but gorgeous Saturday .... AT WORK!  Why is society so money hungry?  Why do we feel the need to work for 6 days a week?  Yes, I realize that when God created the world, He worked for 6 days and rested one, but it wasn't until that last day that he created man.  I also realized that "in a sense", he works daily, but not in the same way he did back then.  I miss my wife and children by working on Saturdays.  A lot of valuable family time is sacrificed just to make another dollar.  I don't like it.  I never have.  I've always been one that wants to be with my family as much as possible.  Maybe I'm just ranting, but doesn't the logic make sense.  The same people that complain about this world are the very same ones that are making it how it is.  It's contradicting.  It makes me sick to think of all the memories that I miss by being here.  It's not a job that I can bring my family to like ministry or performances or shows....I am honored to be able to do all of those to some degree, however, this isn't the case.  I sit here day in and day out thinking of what all I'm missing out on.  It's not just family...even my friends that are off on Saturdays...I can't enjoy "guy time" or "me time" because of having to work for the "man".  I remember days of being a youth minister when I worked for "THE MAN".  That was fun!  This isn't fun!  There is an old adage that says, "If you do something you love and are passionate about, you'll never work a day in your life!"  I want that.  I have passions, goals, dreams....I think these are good things to possess, but I long for the day I can answer the question, "What do you do for work?" and I'll say, "Work?  I don't work!  I [insert passionate field here] and get paid to do it!!  So basically I have fun and enjoy my family, but still get paid!"

Ahhh......dreams.....
