By The Rev. David K. Barnett. Pastor. First Presbyterian Church Os Walkerton 1 wonder sometimes why so many people have away of separating their religious faith and their everyday work. My friend says it’s because many of us grew up hearing that it was a sin to work on Sunday. "And what’s more." he continued one morning over coffee, "wasn’t the punishment for Adam and Eve’s sin that they would have to work for a living?" “Well," I said, "They were originally created to tend the Garden of Eden and to enjoy it. I think when they sinned "tending" became "toiling." But God made us to enjoy our work." "Humph.” he snorted, obviously not impressed with my theological reasoning. "If God made people to enjoy work. 1 must have been put together by Walt Disney. My job is pure Mickey Mouse.” He looked at his watch. "So," he sighed. "I’ll just have to wait until 1 get to heaven for my eternal rest.” "Sorry to disappoint you, but the Bible says that we will have tasks to perform in heaven. I remember that Jesus once said whoever was faithful over a few things in this life will be made a ruler over many things hereafter." My friend was silent as the waitress refilled our cups. "Come to think of it.” he said after she left, "it isn’t my work 1 hate. It’s when I feel like my work doesn’t count for anything — that’s when it seems like . . . well, you know," he paused, swallowing hard. "Hell?" I suggested, smiling. "You said it. preacher. Not me.” Later as we walked into the sun-

shine. he put out his hand. "Before today, I never really thought much about how God could help me in my attitude toward my work. But I’m beginning to see that my faith can even include my job." "God cares about every aspect of our lives — especially our work," I replied. "If it’s important to us, it’s important to God." We shook hands and parted company. "Oh. by the way,” he shouted to me over his shoulder, "1 hope working on Sunday isn’t a sin —for your sake. Pastor. See you in church!” This column is sponsored by the Tri-County Ministerial Association serving the greater Walkerton and Koontz Lake communities.
