We come into this world with a specific, personal destiny. We have a job to do, a calling to enact, a self to become.

I Hear His Whisper...I am true wisdom.Do not be intimidated by those who consider themselves to be wise, for they are fools. Those who scorn my wisdom will be seen as pretenders who must forsake their ways. I offer them a drink of the pure waters of truth and wisdom, if only they will come into my sanctuary.Many times, you have backed down from those who seem to be wise, but now I call you to spea...
