Jordan - Proverbs 16

After missing lunch and now getting closer to dinner verse 26 jumped out at me.  "The appetite of workers works for them; their hunger urges them on."  (I've noticed that I have thought of food a few times today, but not because I was really hungry, but more because of the time of the day and the fact that I wasn't going to eat any.)   I like this verse though because its less lofty wisdom and more a fact of life.  A lot of us put up with a bunch at work because it puts bread on our table and a roof over our head.  I have a great time at my job on many days, but I would love to retire and live in perpetual spring training, taking my sons to games and then sitting back on the beach with Erin.

The fact of the matter is, I won't be retiring anytime soon (surprise!).  But, my hunger for a good life for my family and myself works for me to keep me focused on my career.
