He does not count the labor itself as a part of his life; it is rather a sacrifice of his life. It is a commodity that he has auctioned off to another."<BR/><BR/>It seems that perception is what elevates the cubicle-dweller. What are we sacrificing for? On this point, Pastor Mike is on to something. We are commodities when lost, when all we see is the "evil corporation" bearing down on us. But we're something else -- something more -- when we are found. Is He still God if He places you in that cubicle?

It was his way of saying its easy for everyone to look like their an orange in an organization, but until you squeeze them and see what comes out you never really know who they are...do you get orange juice under pressure or just smelly water?Mike Sharrowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09390371076084475045noreply@blogger.com
