Happy birthday to Albert Einstein. It's easy to celebrate the scientist, though have no clue as to the nature of his work. I want today, however to celebrate the thinker.
One of my struggles as a "professional" Christian--a.k.a. clergy--has always been what drew me to the ministry was now my "job." As a calling, it is profound and meaningful, but everyone's job at times stinks. This quote helps me, especially when I consider that I am now bi-vocational, working as a teacher/preacher.
"It is best, it seems to me, to separate one's inner striving from one's trade as far as possible. It is not good when one's daily break is tied to God's special blessing." -- Albert Einstein
Here is another to chew on.
"Imagination is more important than knowledge."
I need to remember that one as a teacher and preacher, both.
