"Vocation is where our greatest passion meets the world's greatest need." - Frederick Buechner.

There' a little amperage in my voice today. I want to talk about "holy discontent".

Just ask her... I did. She said, "Let me check. Marco Polo died in January 1324." I say she knows too much to be innocent.

Do you have that crazy practice of asking God to give you a word for the year? I wasn't quite ready for mine for 2017:

The day we started #adifferentmarch I found out that most of March 2017 is called "Adar" in the Hebrew calendar. It captured my attention so I did a little research. I found out Adar is the month of "strength and power-a month to increase in joy". I. KID. YOU. NOT.

One of the things I have used in the past to shield myself from hurt has been offense. Three years ago today, my good friend, Lisa Goodwin introduced me to a book called, “The Bait of Satan: Living Free from the Deadly Trap of Offense” by John Bevere. I asked Lisa to guest post today. 

As I glance through #adifferentmarch blogs words like weakness, defenseless, dying, vulnerability, stripping have taken center stage so far. You may have wondered when we're getting to the marching/fighting/taking territory part.
