God: "I looked for someone to take a stand for me, and stand in the gap" (Ezekiel 22:30)
We live in a post-vocational age. Without any theology of vocation we lapse into debilitating alternatives: fatalism (doing what is required by “the forces” and “the powers”); luck (which denies purposefulness in life and reduces our life to a bundle of accidents); karma (which ties performance to future rewards); nihilism (which denies that there is any good end to which the travail of history might lead); and, the most common alternative today, self-actualization (in which we invent the meaning and purpose of our lives, making us magicians). In contrast the biblical doctrine of vocation proposes that the whole of our lives finds meaning in relation to the sweet summons of a good God (Paul Stevens).

INSTRUCTIONS
First place winner in the Chicago Tribune's 1996 Annual Holiday Cookie
Contest. Kimberly H. McGuire of Oak Park, Illinois entered her
grandmother's chocolate shot cookie recipe.
1. Beat butter in large bowl of electric mixer at high speed until creamy,
about 1 minute. Add sugar and vanilla; beat until light and fluffy, about 2
minutes. Grandually beat in flour and baking soda until smooth. Stir in
oats. Refrigerate dough in mixer bowl 10 minutes for easier handling.
2. Remove dough from refrigerator. Divide dough into 2 to 3 equal pieces.
Roll each piece into a log about 1 1/2 inches in diameter. Pour sprinkles
into pie plate; roll logs in sprinkles to coat evenly. Wrap logs in plastic
wrap and refrigerate overnight.
3. Heat oven to 325'F. Cut dough into 1/4-inch slices. Bake on greased
baking sheet until lightly browned and slightly firm to the touch, about 20
minutes. Remove to cooling rack.
