Mike Rowe on Work

This video is awesome.  Not only is it Mike Rowe, one of my personal heroes, but it is Mike raising several important issues for us to consider.  (also, heads-up, he talks about sheep castration in a very graphic manner, so be prepared.)  The video is 20 minutes, so make sure you've got a little bit of time.  I promise it will be worth your while.

The first:  When have you had that 'ah-ha!' moment?  As he calls it, the "Sixth Sense" or "Neo in the Matrix" moment.  I think of it as the Kaiser Söze moment.  When has it happened for you?  When has your reality shifted in a major way?  What impact has your relationship with Jesus Christ had on this shift?  If you've never experienced this, why not?

The second:  Consider how you think about 'white collar' and 'blue collar' jobs.  Does Mike's monologue strike any chords?  What does he give you to ponder?  How does his take on 'follow your passion' (@ the 13 minute mark) play out for you?  For your kids?  For your employees?  Reconsidering some decisions?  (Yeah, I know this is tough!!).

The third:  Has God used this video to show or teach you something?  What?
