what do you think of john 6:29? what does that kind
of "work" imply? and, what kind of 'over' or 'under'
spiritualizing can we pervert it with?

DJ,

I too struggle with such things. I don't think my choices are as many as your own. Please take it that my comments were only meant to encourage. I'm not sure it is a bad thing to process the decisions with much consternation. I do so. A lot of people tell me to simply lighten up and count my blessings. Well, I don't think I'm wired that way. I don't think it is simply a matter of not worrying either. So, long story short, I tell you a lot of what I'm like so that you can count your self as blessed, not as bad off as myself. ;-)

Terry, thanks for the comment. It's not that I'm looking for a normal career path, but that it'd be more easily to discern for those of us who are seeking and pursing God, as the typical preacher seems to suggest it's as easy as a prayer and God will show a clear revelation. And it's just been a more involved and time-consuming for me, not so clear cut.

The only speech at a graduation cerimony was the one for my oldest daughter. The speaker, Drix Neihmann, said, "Where passion meets ability there you have calling." I'm sure that is not going to go far in helping you since your abilities and passions are so diverse. It would like your career path is not a normal one, but where is the Bible verse that tells us that a career path should look a certain way. I think Paul's career path would not be considered a normal one either.

Thanks for sharing the post. By the way, I really liked the word count and estimated time to read the post. That is really cool. I think such a feature could help some other blogs. Once the writer understood the amount of time that is being asked, they might reconsider how lengthy a post they would write.
