A Question

A Question

I have a question now for you. It certainly gets your attention and makes you think. I didn't think it up or plan it either so I'm giving the Lord credit for putting it in my mind. It's one you want to answer yourself and then you can easily use it for others. Want to know what it is? It is simply six words, "what is your purpose in life?"

Today I was at my doctors office and I asked him that question. It certainly got his attention. He stopped what he was doing, looked at me, and said, "That's a great question. I like that. My purpose is to help people and enable them to have a good life. I know I can do this because the Lord has placed me here. I also want to live a good life and be a good father to my children. Yes, that's my purpose and I want to do what the Lord has in store for me." He went on to say nobody had ever asked him that question before.

So now I am asking YOU that question. What is your purpose in life? so you have fifty or twenty years ahead, what do you want to do during that time? Get your pen and paper and write it down. You can't start this any younger and you do have a future ahead. Make it worthy. Be a blessing. See what you can do with the Lord's help and guidance. Why not? You only travel this road once and this is your time. He did tell us in Jeremiah 29:11 "I have my plans for you,..." and in Isaiah 31:21 "Whether you turn to the right or to the left, your ears will hear a voice behind you saying, 'This is the way; walk in it'"

Okay, what is your purpose in life?

New Words In Our World

My dictionary is must be old.  It was published in 2001 (is that really old?) and there are words I can't find in it.  I looked for the word blog.  Not there.  So what does it really mean?  How about the word Twitter?  Not there either nor is facebook.  Try skype.  Humm.  If you don't believe our world is changing just go to your dictionary. Now let's start a contest to see how many new words a person can find.  How about you?  What are some new words that you see and use from time to time. Send them to me and let's see how many we can think of. We'll make a list and see what we can come up with.  OK?
