Find Your “Ness”

I’m stuck on You, Me, and DuPree. Yes, your associate minister does things normal people do like going to the movies. No, your associate minister does not just sit around singing hymns in her free-time. Owen Wilson, 36 and floundering, is waiting for the mothership (whatever that means—you late-comers will understand) to make clear his “calling” in life. It comes in the form of spreading the word about our finding and preserving our “–ness.” Ness? you ask. Yes, your you-ness. Carl (Matt Dillion) has his own Carlness. I’ve got Jessness. You have you-ness.

Think on anything long enough and it will become theological, but somehow it strikes me this is not an Owen-original, but rather a call for each of us to discover who it is we genuinely have been created to be. Not a call from the world, not a selfish “this is who I am,” but a call of Christ reminding us of who we are and whose we are.

To ness!
