The God who made the world and everything in it is the Lord of Heaven and earth and does not live in temples built by hands. And He is not served by human hands, as if He needed anything, because He Himself gives all men life and breath and everything else. From one man He made every nation of maen, that they should inhabit the whole earth; and He determined the times set for them and the exact places where they should live. God did this so that men would seek Him and perhaps reach out for Him and find Him, though He is not far from each one of us. For in Him we live and move and have our being.
Acts 17 v 24-28

We are here because we are a mechanism by which genes make more copies of themselves - i.e. we're the product of unthinking, undirected natural phenomena. There are no gods or goddesses, angels, demons, spirits or whatever - those are just children's story book characters.
We have evolved intelligence because it's an extremely successful way of passing on more copies of our genes - Just look at how we've managed to populate the world with 6 billion or so people. However, the consequence of the intelligence that we have evolved, quite by chance, is that we are no longer tied entirely by instinct - we are free to make for ourselves whatever purpose in life we choose. Rejoice in that fact, go out and live your life, and make the most of it, for it is the only one you will ever have.

I ask Heavenly Father daily to work through me to do his will. I went from being an Administrative Assistant for one of the top 5 five companies in the U.S. to being a nurse aide as I wanted to take care and help others. Result, do not get paid a fraction of what I used to, but I have had more fulfillment in my life than ever because I know I'm right where I am supposed to be, doing what he wants me to do. No greater joy or satisfaction have I had before. thanks for asking!

To know God, to love Him and to be happy with Him in the next life. Isn't that what we are all here for?
Peace!

God gave me a purpose when He saved my soul. My purpose is to tell others about Him, and how to be saved. I want ever body to go to Heaven with me.

I keep hoping I am on the right track and pray continually that I am doing what He would have me do. I have not been shown another path, so I must be.

To love God and other people.
Mark 12:29-31
Jesus answered, "The foremost is, 'HEAR, O ISRAEL! THE LORD OUR GOD IS ONE LORD; AND YOU SHALL LOVE THE LORD YOUR GOD WITH ALL YOUR HEART, AND WITH ALL YOUR SOUL, AND WITH ALL YOUR MIND, AND WITH ALL YOUR STRENGTH.' The second is this, 'YOU SHALL LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR AS YOURSELF.' There is no other commandment greater than these."

I've done everything the Bible says - even the stuff that contradicts the other stuff!

You are not asking, you are preaching. I think you are not really interested in my answer, or my life.
