Working and Living

I am a programmer. What I do as a programmer is sitting on my desk all day long. My computer is connected to Internet, I can surf Web, chatting, blogging or do whatever I like. But I have better things to do which is my work.

Last Friday, my boss suddenly stand behind me asking me of my work. I do not know how long he standing behind me because I am focusing on my work. In fact I do not surf Web, chatting or blogging in office at all. I think it is not right though I feel like it. So I end up spend a lot on my Internet bill connecting at home.

Back to the topic, if I am doing my personal stuffs in office, the first result is my tasks are not going to be done at the end of the day. It is totally my fault withdrawing salary every end of the month, using office resources for my own pleasure and tasks given is not done.

As my own evaluation, my work is not very good. Though I try my very best and spend the longest hours I can to complete my task, but I am not able to complete all my tasks on time flawlessly. It is very tiring and discouraging in this way.

In Christian point of view, we must keep living a good life and be faithful on every aspect of my life. Because the life we have are given by God and belongs to Him. He will surely come and ask, "How is your life?". It is not a casual greeting anymore. It is a request of a boss of your work progress report. Beware and keep watching all the time. Do you know what bible said about this?

(Matthew 24:42-44) Therefore keep watch, because you do not know on what day your Lord will come. But understand this: If the owner of the house had known at what time of night the thief was coming, he would have kept watch and would not have let his house be broken into. So you also must be ready, because the Son of Man will come at an hour when you do not expect him.

For me, it is tiring and extremely tension. I think it is worthy to be tiring and extremely tension for at most 100 years and have eternal life. As recorded in Bible, eternal life is better than the life we have now.

(Revelation 21:1-4) Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away, and there was no longer any sea. I saw the Holy City, the new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride beautifully dressed for her husband. And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, "Now the dwelling of God is with men, and he will live with them. They will be his people, and God himself will be with them and be their God. He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away."

The main point here is there will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain; the sub point is there was no longer any sea, which is new idea for me. ^_^
