Some days, doing “the best we can” may still fall short of what we would like to be able to do, but life isn’t perfect-on any front-and doing what we can with what we have is the most we should expect of ourselves and anyone else. – Fred Rogers

Vocation
“My Lord God. I have no idea where I am going. I do not see the road ahead of me. I cannot know for certain where it will end. Nor do I really know myself, and the fact that I think I am following your will does not mean that I am actually doing so. But I believe that the desire to please you does in fact please you. And I hope I have that desire in all that I am doing. I hope that I will never do anything apart from that desire. And I know that if I do this, you will lead me by the right road though I may know nothing about it. Therefore I will trust you always though I may seem to be lost and in the shadow of death. I will not fear, for you are always with me, and you will never leave me to face perils alone.” Thomas Merton

On the road
Bumper sicker I saw on the road today: “My work is the comfort the disturbed and disturb the comfortable.”

What Brother Blue Look Like
I have found one of the coolest applications of economy on the internet. The web site Design Outpost is a graphic design contest site. What makes it really great is anyone can set up a competition. A possible client write a note saying what type of work that needs to be done and how much they are willing to pay for it. They then make the payment via PayPal to the web site. The contest is posted and designer for all over the country start submitting work. The person who is running the contest then provides feedback via the same bulletin board that the designers work is on. Everyone can see all the work and what he client thinks of everyone’s work. When the client is happy with one of the designs, the contest ends and the web site pays the winning designer.
To see one of these contest in action check out the contest to design the logo for Brother Blue.
