Vocation.

This week I am finally reading again, I had to take a sabbatical for my sanity.  The book I am reading is Let Your Life Speak, and the best thing about it?  It is mercifully short.  This book is one of those I'm going to have to purchase (I got it from the library) to read over and over.  I'm not terribly far into it yet, but I already find myself identifying very much with Parker Palmer and echoing the many thoughts he had while searching for his vocation. 

One passage that struck me was this:

"Our deepest calling is to grow in our own authentic selfhood, whether or not it conforms to some image of who we ought to be.  As we do so, we will not only find the joy that every human being seeks - we will also find our path of authentic service in the world.  True vocation joins self and service, as Frederick Beuchner asserts when he defines vocation as "the place where your deep gladness meets the worlds deep need."

That's all.  I'm taking a study break. Oh, and I had some funny pictures to share of Tara and Amy trying to get a stubborn cork out of a wine bottle this weekend, but blogger won't take my pictures, so maybe later...
