i've always believed that RIGHT HERE/RIGHT NOW is your calling and your purpose... to sit and steep in God and His Mercy through Christ, by faith... to marinate in Grace and effuse that aroma to a world so full of death...
i've always KNOWN that just loving the persons nearest me supercedes any "calling" or "purpose" contained in fine religious vocabulary...
Looking at the parable of the Good Samaritan, I see that scum like me--the slugs of the religious world--are God's "favorites" for highlighting His mercy to a world so dying...
Being patient, merciful...serving instead of insisting on your own way...giving instead of taking, getting, and keeping... the way of the Cross...
What? isn't that the kingdom? won't that take you where you're supposed to be? isn't that what it is to dip into "Purpose"?
That's never gonna sell a million copies, unless you count the Scriptures that have dominated the book market from the day the press was invented...
o that they were read as oft as they are purchased...
