Is it wrong to want to work less than 40 hours a week?

Does America have it wrong?

Is it wrong for me to rather have free time than a bigger number in my bank statement?

An entire generation pumping gas, waiting tables, slaves with white collars. Working jobs we hate so we can buy stuff we don't need.

It is difficult to get motivated to get a full time job when I don't see the point in making that much money. Couldn't my time be better spent doing something else? I've been thinking about this perspective more and more. Am I wrong? Is America wrong? What would You have me do?

It certainly is humbling to work a part time job somewhere. It's easy to be prideful when I have a degree and work in a law firm. Sure I could work a job making as much as possible and whatever money I don't need I could give away but with that thinking then why should we go on missions? Why not throw money at the problems of the world? Would you rather me make as much money as possible and give it away or make enough to live and use my free time to serve?

Who is greater Glen Coffee or Tim Tebow?

Glen gave up his dream, fame, wealth, everything that made sense to this world and to society for You.

Tim is still in the NFL but people can't help but think about You whenever they talk about him.

Is it better to give it all up in order to serve You?
Or is it better to become as powerful as possible and point to You?

But many who are the greatest now will be least important then, and those who seem least important now will be the greatest then.
-Jesus

How do You want me to spend this life You've given me?
