    Vocation & Gladness

    The voice we should listen to most as we choose a vocation is the voice that we might think we should listen to least, and that is the voice of our own gladness. What can we do that makes us the gladdest? I believe that if it is a thing that makes us truly glad, then it is a good thing and it is our thing. -Frederick Buechner

    Great quote. I actually never have heard of Buechner. What of his writings would you recommend?

    Steve,

    A good place to start: Telling the Truth: The Gospel as Tragedy, Comedy, and Fairytale.

    I’ll second “Telling the Truth”. Good stuff.
