OK Maybe YOU'RE not

Harlan happens to be "on call" this week. Not only is he on call in his rotation he is also manager on call for the guy he is standing in as manager for. I was sort of thinking about what being on call means. Isn't it being there for somebody when they have a need that you can meet or try to help them figure out how to solve the problem on their own. Isn't it putting down what you had planned, to do something for another. But it's not just sitting anticipating the phone ringing or a pager going off. You must still be about your business. Doing what it is that you have purposed to do. We all have that sort of stuff. Purpose stuff. Hopefully when we get the "call" to reach out or help we are available and not wrapped up in our own pursuits. I think we all should be ready and willing to come along side a fellow human to help illuminate the path they are traveling when they have need of vision.

Sounds almost Biblical.
