No Reservations?

During their couple share this morning, Richard said something about responding to God's call that made us all laugh, even as I think it may have made us all feel a bit guilty.

What he said was this: 'I can't do this because I'm not coming here!' He was wrestling with God's calling on his life when he visiting a certain place in Mississippi, a place very different than the part of Mississippi where he was raised. And that's when he realized that he had certain reservations about responding to God's call.

Thank you, Richard, for being so honest with us. We are glad you didn't resist the call that brought you to Memphis.

But the question for your thoughts is this: what are your reservations? Is there somewhere you wouldn't go if God called? Is there something you wouldn't do for God? Are there certain people with and for whom you would not want to work?

And why?
