(Pre)occupation
Considering that I just spoke about my job, this is very apt. While reading my bible reflection for today, this question greeted me: What is your preoccupation?
First of all, I just love the wordplay. I have this thing for linguistic witticism...Preoccupation...Occupation. Is your occupation a preoccupation? Is your preoccupation with your occupation?
Anyway, this particular passage from St Paul's letter was a timely reminder of how my occupation should not be a preoccupation: "For those who live according to the flesh are concerned with the things of the flesh, but those who live according to the Spirit, with the things of the Spirit." (Rom 8:5)
Happy 1st year, Jo!
