I know I'll get some off the wall answers on this, but I don't care. This is still the best section in YA for wit and intelligence, no matter what the faith (or lack of).

To make the world's best pizza. It may not be much, but it is mine, and I'm willing to be made fun of for this.

That seems to be the question of the day... That is the same question that our Pastor is doing a series on now,,,, "The Purpose Driven Life". I am still in the process of trying to figure mine out, but I feel that I am getting closer everyday. God has been taking me in some strange directions these days.

My thoughts---we were put on this earth to serve God and bring others to His kingdom. The fall of man split the intimate communion with God, therefore he is not within our grasp as he was with Adam. So, in order, to get others into Heaven, we must spread the Good News and bring others to Christ. We were created for Jesus' amusement by his Father. Think of it like an ant farm almost. But we were meant to be friends with God and Jesus but we sin daily and that splits the path between us and God. We are here to do a purpose God has created us to do...some find it relatively easy, others wait their entire lives (look at Moses, Joseph, Noah, etc).

My purpose in YA is just learning some new stuff and try to share my ideas with people by answering their questions.

To be creative, to understand that not all things taught are true, to know in my mind that a creator exist, just not the way its explained by any religion, to love and be loved, to achieve a upper level of awareness, that things on earth have no value. That live is a chance, not a social chance, but a chance to find yourself, your true self, I have not reached them but I continue to believe that day shall come and freedom will be mine, not as in death but more like being set free to do as you please in a place where no harm can be done, whats yours

it seems it has changed recently
i used to think my purpose was simply to spread love and make peoples lives better
now i am seeing a different side to myself ... the person who stands up for others and speaks bluntly about intollerance and bigotry
i will probably change again and have some other purpose
its all good
