The calling of a lifetime, right? Live the inverted life, right? But what is that life? Is the inverted life just a way to get back to Louisiana and volunteer more? Is it about staying here in Ohio and working to help keep things going here? Is it about praying for the volunteers, the troops in Iraq, or the children of drug addicts? I am finding that the inverted life isn't something that I can apply to others--because I am not that special and I am not better than anybody else. My life is not a standard by which other lives are judged.

Actually, the inverted life is something that each of us has to find.

I believe that this is a "general" calling, something that everybody receives from God is a calling to follow Him (Matthew 11:28-30). The message isn't for specific people, but for "all you who labor and are heavy laden," for anybody and everybody who is carrying their own guilt and sin on their backs. This is a message for everybody.

My calling is no different from yours--to live the inverted life, where we put God above all of our other priorities in life.
