Vocations Awareness Week Day 1: Discerning a Vocation

Today is the first day of Vocations Awareness Week, Read more about it here.

The plan is to post a new article or link or video about vocations each day this week, so check back often.

Where should we start? Eh, how about figuring out exactly what a vocation is and how to discern one. Sounds good? Yea? Well you probably don't want to hear me talk about it... But, luckily, theologian and co-author of the great book "I Choose God," Chris Cuddy is here and he does a pretty nice job addressing the notiong of Vocation. Take it away Chris:
