"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.

Max's Birthday
Susan and I are making it a tradition to take each of our 6 grandchildren out for a date on their birthdays. Next Sunday, Max, who is Tom and Kelly's 2nd child, is turning 6, so we were off to his favorite restaurant, which happens to be A&W this week, shopping at Toys R Us and for cinnamin buns at Ikea.
We had a fun time learning about the many boy toys available for 8 year olds. Max scurried between Lego Knights, Batman, Bionicles, Army trucks, Ninja Turtles and Power Rangers. At Ikea, sitting on our high stools, we talked about the various pros and cons of each option while munching on their delicious cinnamon treats. Poor Max couldn't sleep on Friday night because he was so excited about the coming celebration.
