One of the things I struggle with pretty often is trying to figure out my calling in life. It seems pretty easy for me to look at other people’s lives and see their calling. It’s also pretty easy to look at peopled “called” into the ministry to identify and put some meat on their “calling.”…
My wife and I rented The Bucket List with Jack Nicholson and Morgan Freeman last weekend and really enjoyed it. If you haven’t seen it yet, it is about two men who are sharing a hospital room both fighting sickness and they find out at the same time that they have between six and 12…
