Re: What Is Your Passion?
 

So much easier to get a fuller image of God on a farm, imo (never been on one, been a city boy all my life)

I think there is some discussion of this def of passion at
"Whatever your hand finds to do, do it with all your might,"
and...won't say anything about tools gathering dust in pursuit of God,
except to say that while some pursuits might surely take one away,
they might just as easily be a wonderful expression of God, also.

I mean, Christ was a mason (or carpenter, if you prefer)--
but He also more or less "laid that down"...I note it was to "go out,"
however, and not become introspective, for whatever that may be worth?

I would have to say my passion is beginning to turn to searching the scriptures. Just trying to get the word in me at the moment and waiting for the spirit...

Other than that, I would have to say Guitar is my second fav. I have played ever since I was about 7 or 8 years old.. Learning about my heritage (Which is Greek and Norwegian.) Learning to speak other languages is way up there for me too.

There is something about a language that tells you about that group of people as a whole. Like in icelandic there are numerous ways to describe wind... where we only have a couple, simply because we don't have a need for that many words for it... or in indian there is a word for the feeling two people have when they look at each other but are too shy to go say something to one another... they must have great stress on that feeling to give it its own word. Kind of gives you a deeper connection. I love language learning.

As well as studying martial arts, mainly krav maga and wing chun. I'm also interested in history.

Jesus Christ, his spirit and his word. 38 years ago today he gave me the Holy Ghost. He has been my passion since that day.

This is it! I did not find farming until I was in my 40's although I did find gardening :) I have met people who grew up on a farm and all they can say is that they are glad they got away "Too much work!"

Don plays guitar at a level not reached by many in this world. He loves it and has spent a lifetime perfecting it. I often say 'Could you turn that amplifier down, I'm trying to read!' having little appreciaton of what it takes to create music. Others can listen to Don play for hours and days on end.

Before farming my passion was medicine. I loved everything about the human body and learning all the secrets of what made it work and what caused it to fail.

And yes I think everyone has the potential to be passionate about something but not every season in life will find us in hot pursuit of something passionately. :)

My passions would be the things I focus on, care the most about and spend the most time and effort on. Currently, that would be God, family, music, my home & garden, friends and community outreach.

Things that I'm not passionate about are things I can do without and really don't care much one way or the other.

If you want to know what a person is passionate about, just watch what they do. Their life will center around their passions. I don't define a "passion" as something someone talks about all the time, although that can fit into the picture in some ways. Passion is a driving force that defines your priorities, your lifestyle and your choices. IMO, everyone is passionate about something.
