Vocation


"Very often I feel like a little pencil in God's hand. He does the writing; the does the thinking; he does the movement--- I have only to be a pencil and nothing else."
-- Mother Theresa, Total Surrender

Aw man, the snow is coming back, just when I was starting to believe the winter was (insert sarcastic laughter here) coming to an end. The pissy Deutschlandwetter that we've had for the last 3 days was really nice to me. Better bring back the longjohns.

It's Ash Wednesday, and instead of giving something up I've decided to take up some spiritual discipline. I've been a Christian for nigh 26 years now, and I still read the Bible with a very confused understanding of the person of Jesus Christ.
So I'm starting by going over the writing of Mother Teresa, obviously in preparation for my trip to Calcutta, but also just because she seems like the right person right now to give me new insight into who Jesus is and, more importantly, what on earth he wants me to do with my life.
