Yesterday I was doing something I never do...writing a paper for class. (Insert stench of sarcasm here). Maybe it was one of my frequent "squirrel" moments or just complete and utter randomness, but I began to become nostalgic about Trapper Keepers.

("Job" can include volunteer service, parenting, career's, blogging, etc.) If we as Christians are to live our lives in constant worship of God, what does our behavior at work say about us?
