Call to Prophecy
Great article on the call to be a modern-day prophet. This is a call I feel pulling me at times, and fight it every step of the way, just as the prophets of old.
"But in my case, God, I am really not qualified...."
"Don't pick me don't pick me don't pick me please don't pick me"
I have pretty much done every possible bit of negotiating with God on this, my favorite bit being where I say, "Okay God, I'll be a truth-teller as long as I can do it by writing books while being a college professor," and God just laughs and laughs.
