Wondering about my Wanderings

The Call

It is the end of the night and I am caught by a new book that I am almost done reading. I love this book and I can not wait to see how it ends. My manager tells me that my replacement is going to be late and I could care less. I get to read my book!! As I am reading, along comes my eighteen year old friend Jacob.

You know you can leave if you want Gary, I will stay here and take your place. But the manager says that you are good with being here.

So I sit and read in unmitigated bliss and Jacob sits next to me all the while waiting for my replacement to arrive. As I look at this experience I am caught by what it means to be called of God. I am called to bliss and to be with one who is seeking to know God in a way that he would not know God otherwise. I share the highlights of my book with me and he share a caring presence. What could be better?!!!
