called

Second day in a row and I've been called on my cell phone with a message from a recorded voice that proclaims I have a message from someone at the local county jail. I have not been able to determine who the caller may be...the voice of the caller is hard to understand and doesn't sound familiar. So I have not accepted the call each time. And now I wonder who it is. Perhaps someone I know. Not many people know my number. Perhaps a relative? Then again, I have no news of a family member being in trouble. Likely a wrong number. A prisoner making a single call. Maybe needing help to post bail. Maybe someone I know. Being called. My dad was a minister. He professed that he was called...from God. In his religion, only men were called. Women were hired. He was called to be a minister...left a college focus on something closely related to medicine. He was a good preacher...good at starting up churches...parishes. He had a track record of staying in a parish ten years...then was called to a new parish...happened three times in a career that lasted about thirty years. Called? By God? Every ten years? Is God divisible by ten? Next time I get the call from the inmate, I may answer. Then again, I may wait eight more times...the tenth call
