Something that's been in my mind the last couple days is that question: "Why?"
Why do we do pointless things? Why do we sit down in the evening and watch a Disney movie that we have seen a hundred times instead of reading the Bible?
Why do we go to school? Why do YOU go to school?
Why am I even here at the computer? Is there something more important than writing this note?
Why do we do things that seem to serve no real purpose? Why do we watch TV? Why do we go to Disneyland/Legoland/Six Flags/etc.?
Why don't we do something that would truly advance the kingdom of God? Why don't we go to that Bible study? Why don't we talk about God with our (Christian) friends at school? Why don't we pray more than a few minutes every day?
Why do we pray for the things that we do? Why do we, instead of praying for 20 minutes, pick up the Nintendo controller and play a videogame that will have no effect on anyone's life?
For what it's worth, perhaps these questions will provoke you to a deeper consideration of what your purpose in life is, and why you are doing what you are doing.
In Christ,
Andrew
