In the Beginning, there was work
Creation was the plan of a craftsman
God worked for the sheer joy of it. Work could not have a more exalted inauguration
The forms of God’s work
God commissions people to work.
While God works for us as our Provider, we also work for Him
The Goodness of our work
We need meaningful work to function as humans.
[Work] should be the full expression of the worker’s faculties... the medium in which he offers himself to God. - Dorothy Sayers
The Freedom of Our Work
Freedom is found in honoring our nature. Freedom is not absence of restrictions
The Limits of All Work
Leisure is having the attitude to enjoy and value things as they are.
[Leisure] is rather like the stillness in the conversation of lovers which is fed by their oneness - Josef Pieper
