Kahn and Frost

Audio / Produced by The High Calling

Transcript

Author Roger Kahn wrote The Boys of Summer and other sports best-sellers, but he hated the “sportswriter” tag. One day, Kahn was sent to interview the famous writer Robert Frost, who said exactly the wrong thing:

“So you’re a sportswriter?”

“Yes,” Kahn sighed, “but I write other things as well.”

“Of course,” Frost said. “When I was young,” Frost told Kahn, “my family worried I would be a pitcher and waste my life. Later they worried I’d be a poet and waste my life.” He flashed a wry smile. “They were right.”

I’m Howard Butt, Jr., of Laity Lodge. If you follow your call and do your best, perceptions don’t matter. Yours or anyone else’s. You’re living out the high calling of our daily work.

Now it is God who has made us for this very purpose and has given us the Spirit as a deposit, guaranteeing what is to come.

(2 Cor. 5:5)
