Do you ever kind of step back from the world and think, "What is this all for, or what does it all mean?" If you separate yourself from the immediate, and try to look at the big picture, there can be a lot more questions than that.

Why are we alive?

Were we created, and by what or who?

What are we living for?

What is worth living for?

Can I find happiness in this life, and how?

Do any of these questions really matter?

Sometimes these questions can be uncomfortable ones to ask, the world is so out of control, and with so many distractions.  Yet ignorance is not always bliss, but it does make the world go 'round.  You need to ask yourself these tough questions, and then most importantly, decide what to put your hope in.  Will it be in what this world has to offer? A world full of temporary pleasure, and one that is steadily getting out of hand?
There is good news!  The greatest news you will ever hear!  The news that we did not evolve out of some kind of microorganism, or just 'come to be' by chance, but that we have a God that created us!  He has created us in His image, and He has a plan for all of us.  This answers some questions, but there are still more.  We were created, but why? Answer: To glorify God and enjoy Him for eternity.  Simple isn't it?  The Awesome God, King of Glory, the Righteous One, created us for this!  But then the question is, how do we do this?  Well, we can't do it on our own, because we are sinful creatures rebeling against God.  We must become new creatures in Him in order to be able to do this.  The good new is that He sent his only son Jesus Christ to die on the cross for our sins that if we believe this, making Jesus our Lord and Savior, or sins will be forgiven, becoming new creatures in Him, and will spend eternity in heaven with Him when this short life is over.  Praise God for this!  He didn't have to do this for us, but He did!  Now we live for Him, and for His glory.  In Him we find happiness, peace, and joy! He begins changing us from the inside out, making us more like Him.  Because I am a Christian, not because of what I have done, but what Christ has done through me, I'm finding joy in the little things of this life!  I desire to serve my Creator, to serve others, and have it all be for God's glory!  I have a foundation to stand on now, a rock, and a fortress.  My security is in what Christ has done for me, and not in my own strength or in what the world has to offer me.  It's not too good to be true!  This is why we were created.  Praise the Lord with thanksgiving!  Lift your voices with the angels in worshiping our kind Father in heaven!  Thank you Lord for providing the way, and I praise you for it!

Questions?  Comments?  I'd really appreciate feedback on this.

I haven't posted anything on here in awhile, so I will now.  I went to Home Depot yesterday for my boss, and this was my list:
1. 1 box of 8 foot florescent lightbulbs
2. 6 1 inch paintbrushes
3. 8 rolls of 2 inch tape.

Easy enough, I found everything and went to check out.  I get up to the to the checkout lane, the only one conveniently open.  "Great, just great." I think to myself. "The gay guy is is the cashier." Ever since I've been coming to this Home Depot, I've noticed this guy, and I must admit at first I thought he was a girl.  Anyway, I get up there and he commences to check me out ( by that I mean the items I bought, if you thought otherwise, I'll pray for you.) and he asks me what this long box contains.  I said they were light bulbs.  "Really?  I didn't know they came in that long of a size, wow, who knew?"  he said.  I just stood there and looked at him.  "You have got to be kidding me." I thought.  How can you work at a Home Depot and not know the basics.  If I'd bought a hammer, he probably would have asked what is was used for.  "For banging on things, like nails, noggins, and nincompoops." I'd answer.  Oh well, I just was confused, paid for everything with the company credit account and left.  I think I'll choose a different aisle next time I check out.
