What is your Five Year Plan?

If I had to document hours spent in March, I would label most of the hours as “vocational discernment.” Between a vocation discernment retreat, a discernment event, reading a book and meeting its author about vocation filled my days.

At DOOR, we float “vocational discernment” around a lot. We work with hundreds of college students and college grads who are asking these questions – What should I do? What am I called to do? What can I afford to do?

PBS’s Independent Lens recently followed several folks on their journey to church leadership and the documentary that followed is entitled “The Calling”. This project also created whatsyourcalling.org as a way to share the journey of understanding one’s calling if in or out of church.

I appreciate how Joshua Stanton sees his call:

Where are you on this journey?

Field Trip to Bahai Temple

O Glory of All Glorious –
It is in the stillness that glory shines
Maybe not in this particular stillness
Maybe not in the place where I expect
Maybe not in the still before sleep
But in the stillness…
In the reflection of a smile in the store window
In the depth of my heart songs
In the quiet wisdom of the elderly man on the porch at 759 N. Harding
In the beauty of the warm sun at the lake
In the moment, being in the still moment
Is where You, O Glory, shine so bright.
