vocational acumen

I just learned what the word "acumen" means (we looked at Acumen Fund as one business model directed to solving poverty) - according to Merriam-Webster online: keenness and depth of perception, discernment, or discrimination especially in practical matters.

I hope to eventually speak/think/reflect from a place of acumen, and maybe even do so on occasion in the near future.

So, there are 2 - ok, maybe 3 or 4 - things that I was just thinking of that I wanted to discern, but I don't know if I can remember all the parts of them that I was thinking through. In fact, at the moment, I'm just going to post these 4 topics, and then come back and fill in later:

-the practicality of intentional community

-what to do as my field ed next year

-what to do with the rest of my life

-ordination
