Spiritual Incompetence - A new look at missions

I had a very entertaining conversation with my father today - as per usual his wit and dry humor were well received. I mentioned that our philosophy class recently spoke of Pascal's Wager and things of that sort - he was totally enthralled. My father being a mathematician went off onto subjects I could not understand until finally I confessed that I had no idea what he was talking about. I wish a lot of things for my father - most importantly a saving faith - but also, I wish that another women will come along for him so that he can share all these cute bits of information with someone who cares for him as much as I do.... but I digress.
Toward the end of our conversation we began to discuss his upcoming trip out here this summer. I told him that whatever he decided would be fine but, attending church with me (on a sunday) was a necessary thing - a "deal breaker" if you will. To which my father replied, "I don't remember you being in charge, .... unless you deem me a spiritual incompetent" This was of course in jest, but what a notion? To deem a person spiritually incompetent ... we joked a little about bringing them spiritual nourishment like some deliver communion to shut-ins.
Anyway, anyone who knows me would soon realize that my "heart" for missions is rather small - I may need to grow three sizes like Grinch in this area... yet, I don't know - looking at the unsaved as "spiritually incompetent" might just bring about the right mixture of maternal and calvinistic tendencies to cause action within my bones... Wow - did I just put maternal and calvinism in the same thought ... wierd.
