That means that our efforts in life should not be just directed towards stopping abortions and finding a cool church with good music. We cannot excuse some of our actions because we feel something else has more importance at the moment. This thing we call our "calling" is not pick and choose.<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=smedgewords.wordpress.com&amp;blog=6746861&amp;post=66&amp;subd=smedgewords&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>
