With a calling, in contrast, announcements and doctrine and basically everything hold relevance and keep my interest. If I am a ward missionary, for instance, my ears perk up when I hear about missionary work or missionary opportunities or how to be a better missionary. When I was the executive secretary, as well, I looked at my brothers and sisters in terms of their church records, their relationship to the bishop, and what they might need from me and how I could help.
Context, in a sense, is king, and context derives from relationships, which are defined, in part, by callings (in terms of the Church, for me). Here's to getting one in the relatively near future.
