"Who am I?" "Why am I here?" "What's the purpose of my life?" "How can I find meaning and fulfillment?" Who doesn't ask these searching questions about life's purpose at some point in their life? There is a place deep down inside every one of us that cries for significance. We look longingly at the lives of our heroes, who've made a difference in our world, and secretly want to be among them.

Honoring God
Today Susan and I are shopping in San Lucas for gifts for our girls. We went into a store that the owner was playing Christian music. As usual Susan started singing with the music. "Are you a Christian?" The lady asked. "Yes we are." A few minutes later as Susan was looking for turquoise earrings the owner was helping. "Do you like these?" She asked pointing to her own. "Yes I do" a second later she had them out of her ears cleaned them and put them in a bag as a gift. "Here take them. You are visiting. More will arrive here in three days and I can replace mine" The lady did more than say she was a Christian. She acted like Christ. Of course we bought some other jewellry after that, but the lady had given purely out of love with no other expectations than to honor her God.
