Where's your passion?

[Jenster]

Just wondering. Where do you find your passion these days? Where does your passion come from and what do you have a passion for?

I mean, the kind of passion that lifts your life above the mundane, routine, small stuff. The kind of passion that keeps you from thinking that finding a sale on frozen dinners is the height of excitement.

Speaking the word in love and having it received in gladness. That brings me more joy than anything ever could.

I'm on autopilot right now. I served on church council, led adult classes, taught Sunday School, counted offerings, helped with Alpha dinners, and attended the singles group (at different times). But my volunteerism ran out. I'm not doing anything but going to Saturday night or Sunday service.

In the secular realm, it's too early to plant my garden plot yet, too cold for swimming and biking and all the snow is gone so I can't x-country ski. I do enjoy the ballroom dance lessons that I started taking about three months ago though.

Work pays the morgage.

Maybe it's time for some soul-searching...

(BTW, Trader Joe's has some *really* good frozen dinners!)

those rare chances when I get a chance to watch the Vancouver Canucks play hockey (unless they lose, of course! lol)

thoughts of a possible vacation REALLY lift my spirits (as long as I don't think about the fact that I can't really afford one)

2-hour prayer sessions make me feel pretty good too

anytime i make progress with cleaning out the flower beds in my yard (especially if I manage to NOT get poison ivy in the process!)

btw, frozen dinners ARE the height of excitement....after you've had raman noodles for a week! lol

Really?? Which ones??

Really?? Which ones??

Try the Mandarin Orange Chicken, my favorite. Also, their quiches are quite good. They're small so I have to eat two to fill up, but good.

The little rice / noodle bowl things like Pad Thai are good for a quick lunch.

back to the original question

I work in youth ministry. that's where I take and give a big part. there's a lot of passion involved.

thanks for bringing us back on topic, Soda. I was getting hungry!

My passion from God. Using the passion He gave me for teens, I work with several different groups of young athletes (ok, so maybe fishing is NOT an athletic activity. . . *giggle* but the way the kids get excited I think it DOES qualify!) and they inspire, motivate, and light me up.

My passion?
Caring.
In any way possible!
Wether that be in the shape of doing something nice for my parents, surprising a hurting friend with a gift, spending time with elderly who don't often get visitors, and I could go on forever with things I lvoe to do.

Bassically I'm a big teddy bear!
And I enjoy every minute of it!
