Ask A Mormon: Can you be baptized after death?

“Two poets and a place to exercise happiness in between”

“Your job is to find what the world is trying to be.” 

“What does it mean to be called?”

When most people think of a ‘call’ they think in terms of a call to formal ministry.

“How I found my calling as a social worker at the age of 21″

“Vocation” and “calling” are such buzz words among upperclassmen at a private, Christian liberal arts university. As a graduating senior at Whitworth University (commencement’s less than a month away now!), the constant questions my peers and I hear are “What are you doing after graduation?” and “What are you going to do with that [degree]?”

“Finding my sacred calling, finally”

When I think of the path taken, the one that called me to the big desk in a nice church office in the oldest neighborhood of Spokane, I am struck by how many decisions came in the form of “I have to do this now, I have no other choice.”
