What is your vocation?

I posted an incredible video over at HighCallingBlogs.com and used it to think about work today. Here is a little teaser about that post.

The video got me thinking about What Luther Didn’t Say About Vocation, an old article I found from Luther Seminary this week over at Word & World. (Once upon a time, I was Lutheran for a year when I lived in Germany. Good times. I went to the Church of St. Jacob.)

We can talk about glorifying God through our work all we want, but if we’re not also serving our neighbor we are completely missing the point. We can’t love God without loving our neighbors. And loving our neighbors means showing mercy to them. After all, that is  the point of the Good Samaritan story.Please, stand by me at work, May 2009

We’d love to hear your thoughts in the comments over there.
