My friend, Liz, is thinking about the universe today. She’s like that. And her wonderful essay culminates (for me) with the recognition that everything is interconnected.
With every breath, I change the atmosphere.
With every step, I change the ground we share.
There’s another side to that kind of thinking. Sometimes I like to remember exactly how small I am.

Still “reporting†from the Religion Newswriter’s Association conference. (L.L., is this another serious post?) It is certainly longer than most of what I do here, but I hope readers will stay with me to the end.
On Thursday, I was included in a lunch with D. Michael Lindsay, author of the new book Faith in the Halls of Power.
The book came out today, and I wanted to be one of the first to review it. Let me be blunt. It’s great. Let me be hyperbolic. It’s a masterpiece.

I’m regretting what I posted this morning. Too whiny. This is not the person I want to be, you know?

It’s embarrassing. It shouldn’t matter to me, but sometimes it gets under my skin.

While researching the field of faith and work, I stumbled on this article over at the Work Research Foundation’s Comment Magazine. David Bentall just posting some interesting thoughts about business, balance, and learning to live.
He says that finding success and living a balanced life aren’t mutually exclusive–as long as you define success appropriately.
Consider this quote from the article:

A friend of mine just sent me this fantastic article from Time magazine about my boss, Howard Butt, Jr. It’s a rare thing to see a man devote his entire life to the same vision. Mr. Butt did.
Go read God’s Groceryman. (It’s only 500 words.)
If you’re feeling a little down about your work, you especially need to go read it.
June 7th, 2007 — business, editing, faith and work, publishing
My last post in this series is about a lot more than just editing. You see, publishing is not a business with wide and generous margins. Certainly authors can’t expect to earn a tremendous amount of money directly from publishing. But even the biggest wigs in publishing aren’t running around making the Fortune 400 lists.
Now that so much good content is published online for free, these margins are only going to get narrower.
But those of us called to publish and write and edit still have to put food on the table. How does that work? Here’s the last question:Â
4. Is it, do you suppose, financially feasible for a single person to live in the suburbs of a major city, with only an entry-level publishing job and very part-time work in the food industry?

I just found this video site called The Work of the People. And thought I’d pass on these thoughts about worship for you this Sunday.

MEME TWO: The Ultimate Guide to Productivity
My secret is not martial arts, though I wish it was. Karin tagged me with this meme from Ben over at Instigator Blog.

Are you making a difference or are you earning a check? That’s the key question we ask readers at one of the sites I edit: TheHighCalling.org. And its something I’d like to think about philosophically for the next few days as part of the High Calling Blog Tour.
We just went live this weekend with our new design, and I have to say I am just pleased as punch that this thing is off the ground.
