“’Here I am!’ he answered.”  – GENESIS 22:11

It is easy to say, “Here I am, Lord,” when we are kneeling in church.  But how easy is it to say “Here I am, Lord,” when a neighbor needs our help, when we are invited to join a parish ministry, or when we are asked to provide financial support?  Often times we are called when it’s not convenient for us.  Discipleship is not always easy, most of the time it will make us uncomfortable and vulnerable.
