#calling

Let's just say that I think any person who aspires, presumes, or feels the calling to be an artist has a built-in sense of duty. ↗

I don't know what my calling is, but I want to be here for a bigger reason. I strive to be like the greatest people who have ever lived. ↗

John the Baptist was supposed to point the way to the Christ. He was just the voice, not the Messiah. So everybody's calling has dignity to it and God seems to know better than we do what is in us that needs to be called forth. ↗

Oh, I have this feud going with the L.A. Unified School District, because I keep getting these phone calls saying my daughter keeps missing classes, I mean, at all hours of the night, I had like, two calls this morning and I keep calling saying I haven't got a daughter! ↗

The trajectory started when I was on the roof of our house looking out at a swamp when I was 19. I had written for several years, starting at about 15, but that day on the roof I took my vows and acknowledged my calling. ↗

Look at the coded language the Right is using against President Barack Obama. Openly calling him a liar in Congress, saying he is 'not a Christian, he was not born here, he is not one of us.' That makes addressing such issues trickier for the first African-American in the White House. ↗

I almost didn't name Butt-Head 'Butt-Head.' I came real close to calling him something else. ↗
