And you shall speak

       My words to them,

whether they hear

            or refuse to hear,

for they are

       a rebellious house.

              Ezekiel 2. 7

(God does not call me

  to be successful.

God calls me

          to be faithful,

wherever I am,

even here,

even in this,

even among those around me.

I will be very surprised

by who is watching,

who is listening,

even more at who responds.)
