Producers, Consumers, & Sablogbatical

Posted: February 25, 2009 in Uncategorized

In life there are producers and consumers. These two groups of individuals can be seen in the work place, in the class room, and in the church. This nation was built by producers. What some have called, “The Greatest Generation”. While producers may not all have proper motives, they still create or generate something with their time. Those who continue to produce we call, “reproducers”.
Then there are the consumers. These are the people who are always taking and rarely producing. Unfortunately this has become the “American Way”. Those who continually consume, we could call “reconsumers”. Most all of us are consumers by nature. We need air, water, food, etc. just to live. However not all of us are producers by nature. One of the reasons I started bogging was an attempt to move from being only a consumer of information to a producer. There is satisfaction knowing that you produced something for others to consume.
However being a producer has its price. I’m reminded of the story about the goose that laid the golden eggs. The owners grew tired of waiting on the goose to produce, so they cut the goose open to get to the eggs. Once the had killed the goose they realized there were no eggs in the bird and that they had destroyed their source for getting more. With that I believe it is time for me to take off a few weeks from blogging to rest the goose. Maybe you should take off a few weeks from something you enjoy but you are growing weary with? A Sabatical.

    enjoy it man, I know you need it! I think one of the greatest things that Jesus demonstrated was the importance of getting “re-charged.”
    Leviticus 25:1-7 is a great challenge from God. Not only is the “Sabbath of rest” intended for the sower, but also for the land…possibly to allow it to “produce” on it’s own.
