I've read three of Eld. Bean's books.
That sermon was (in my opinion) a typical vitriolic diatribe by a person who majors on flogging the sheep.

Perspective is a remarkable thing.

Quote by Amos:

Perspective is a remarkable thing.

"Then answered Amos, and said to Amaziah, I was no prophet, neither was I a prophet's son; but I was an herdman, and a gatherer of sycomore fruit:

And the LORD took me as I followed the flock, and the LORD said unto me, Go, prophesy unto my people Israel."

--Amos 7:14-15

I like that signature. I like the beginning of verse 16 which continues, "Now therefore hear the word of the Lord." You might want to add that.

How does that reflect your calling?

From what I understand, Amos was a shepherd and his name means "burden" or "burden bearer." I pray that the Great Shepherd blesses you as you respond to the "burden" or "call" He has placed upon you. And that you display the independence and total lack of the fear of man that Amos displayed almost three thousand years ago.
