Acting Outside My Vocation - Thoughts on Vocation (Part 6)

Gene Veith writes "When we act outside our vocations -- that is, when we try to do something we have no calling for -- we are only creating trouble for ourselves.

More often, acting outside of vocation is morally innocent, but it results in ineffectiveness, frustration, and wasted time." God at Work (2002) p. 139.
