“Work is much more fun than fun.” (Noel Coward) Have you ever had a job that was more fun than fun? A listing of the top 10 fun jobs to have includes pet groomer, race car driving instructor, sommelier, fortune cookie writer and Fire Chief. Being a pastor was not on the list, although I can’t think of a job that I’d like better. As you interact with others who are working, see if you can help make their job more fun. Sometimes all it takes is a smile…even if you are wearing a mask! Is there a dream job that you’d like to have? ;-) Jack
FROM TAMPA SIHRL:: orking for eastern and then continental airlines was great fun after learning how to book flights on the computer in 1978 !===JACK: The "free flights" weren't a bad perk, either. Even tho both airlines are gone, do you fly free with any others?
FROM LS IN MI: Good morning. The job of Mother was the most difficult, rewarding, fun job until I was promoted to Grandma. The promotion to Grandma came as I was living a purposeful life of gratitude for the “fun “ I was having giving hope, empowering and strengthening my community through each person brought to me. The added work I am called upon to do with each of my life’s promotions, I pray for health of mind, body and spirit to continue to do until my last breath is taken. Here on earth and beyond as I continue to be promoted by the Grace of God. I say Amen. =-==JACK: Time flies! There aere so many chapters in our life's book, and I'm familiar with several in yours. Congratulations on being G-d's servant in each one of them.
FROM SB AT AG: hank you, Pastor Freed, for your calling as a pastor. Your “Winning Words” are even more of a blessing during this pandemic when we can’t worship in person.===JACK: As I grow older I find that i enjoy shorter sermons. Maybe that's just me.
FROM ST PAUL: we have a good friend who is an dog groomer. most of the time fun but once in a while she get nipped if not bitten. but she does make good money too. ===JACK: Once in a while I got nipped/bitten by a parishioner...but once in a wile I also bit back. ("forgive me, O Lord, for I have sinned)
FROM BB IN CHGO: Fortune cookie writer sounds pretty fun. I’ve had some interesting jobs over the years and wanted to have others that I’m glad I never got. As a child I most wanted to be a trapeze artist.===JACK: From trapeze artist to bunny to attorney. A psychiatrist would have fun with that. There must be a story behind the story.
FROM WILLMAR REV: ...been there...done it...and even doing it in a smaller fashion this very today...wouldn’t want to be caught doing any other... 0;-)===JACK: You also had a chance to become a pro bowler. That would have been fun (for a while). It's good that you were able to put that behind you. A pastor wouldn't want to play a game when his mind was sometimes in the gutter ===REV: I always imagined what it would have sounded like for the congregation to hear their pastor was away this Sunday bowling in the “Budweiser Open===JACK: It might depend on how much prize money he brought back...and if he were a tither..
FROM SF IN WB: .Teaching. That was my fun job. 😉===JACK: Did you model your work after any one teacher that you had? What's the difference between being a teacher and a principal. BTW, someone once helped me remember the difference between principle and principal. The pricipal is to be the pal of the children. Have you heard of that?===SF: Yes, I had some teacher models along the way...Mr Krucki and Ms Monaster. They both understood kids. The princiPAL thing...yup! ===JACK: Our 6th grade principal was an "old maid" who lived in a hotel apt. One Saturday she invited us "patrol boys" up to her apartment for a party. We thought that we were special...and the party was special, too...Miss Donnahay.
FROM SALON SUZY: I’m living my dream job! Love providing services for my clients===JACK: I'm glad that I'm in your dreamworld.
