==Quote==
+Never forget there is only one [[adventure]] which is more satisfying and thrilling than the attempt to [[discover]] the [[volition|will]] of the living [[God]], and that is the supreme [[experience]] of honestly trying to do that [[divine]] will. And fail not to remember that the will of God can be done in any [[earth]]ly occupation. Some callings are not [[holy]] and others [[secular]]. All [[things]] are [[sacred]] in the lives of those who are spirit led; that is, subordinated to [[truth]], ennobled by [[love]], dominated by [[mercy]], and restrained by '''fairness'''--[[justice]]."[http://www.urantia.org/cgi-bin/webglimpse/mfs/usr/local/www/data/papers?link=http://mercy.urantia.org/papers/paper155.html&file=/usr/local/www/data/papers/paper155.html&line=119#mfs]
