if i have beef with one youth-group cool phrase, it definitely has to be about "God's calling"... or "God called me to [fill in the blank with a nice westerner comfort] to further his kingdom"... cool. chew on that feeling for a while -- and the rest of us will hammer down and purge out touchy feely feelings and deal with the "calling" God has for every freaking one... i'll figure that out and you work to gain equity for that house in suburbia. sure, we all have our talents, but don't confuse that with a warmy bubbley feeling you get during P&W (if i may be so bold as to use that abbreviation) --

and here's something else -- what is it with lack of substance in our praise to God. maybe jesus is hanging out saying "yeah right" when we are, in unison, proclaiming our adoration in a catchy cliche tune.

maybe it works for some -- it doesn't for me.
