So here's a few quotes from the book that again stand out to me...such profound words...
Calling is the truth that God
calls us to himself so decisively that everything we are, everything we do, and
everything we have is invested with a special devotion and dynamism lived out
as a response to his summons and service.
Our primary calling as followers
of Christ is by him, to him, and for him.
Our secondary calling, considering who God is sovereign, is that
everyone, everywhere, and in everything should think, speak, live, and act entirely
for him.
The truth is not that God is
finding us a place for our gifts but that God has created us and our gifts for
a place of his choosing—and we will not only be ourselves when we are finally
there.
A life lived listening to the
decisive call of God is a life lived before one audience that trumps all
others—the Audience of One.
God’s call resonates in us at
depths no other call can reach and draws us on and out and up to heights no
other call can scale or see.
When Jesus calls, he calls us one
by one. Comparisons are idle,
speculations about others a waste of time, and envy as silly as it is
evil. We are each called individually,
accountable to God alone, to please him alone, and eventually to be approved by
him alone. If ever we are tempted to look around, compare notes, and use the
progress of others to judge the success of our own calling, we will hear what
Peter heard: “What is that to you? Follow me!”
Challenged, inspired, rebuked,
and encouraged by God’s call, we cannot for a moment settle down to the
comfortable, the mediocre, the banal, and the boring. The call is always to the higher, the deeper,
and the father.
“You see things as they are and
ask ‘Why?’ But I dream things that never were and ask ‘Why not?’”
-–George Bernard Shaw
“I don’t do big things. I do
small things with big love.” -–Mother
Teresa
Doing the right thing at the
right moment multiplies its effect incalculably.
“You have never talked to a mere
mortal. Nations, cultures, arts,
civilization—these are mortal, and their life is to ours as the life of a gnat.
But it is immortals who we joke with, work with, marry, snub, and
exploit—immortal horrors or everlasting splendors.” –-C.S. Lewis in Weight of Glory
Do you long to rise to the full
stature of who you are created to be? To know the passion of the intensity of
life at its fullest? To be your utmost for his highest? Listen to Jesus; answer
his call.

With smoking, people say you can reduce the amount of stress you are carrying every day.
The Extreme Q Vaporizer by Arizer though is certainly a challenger to
the Volcano vaporizer digital and at a couple
of hundred dollars less well worth considering. Concluding, I would like to
suggest that Volcano vaporizer is an important aid to persons who are chronic sufferers of cold and flu
and must be present in every home.
