Why does the lady with the alligator purse have to be purple?

I think its because there's a playmobil lady that we used to play with, who had a purple dress on, and red shoes, and a red hat, and a red purse... Wierd how our minds make connections huh?

Ok, I'm sorry that is a just a bit random- but what isn't anymore? I also apologize for not posting in awhile, I had a really long post the other day, then my computer messed up and it was gone.

A questiong that I've been thinking alot about lately is: What gets people up in the mornings? What drives them to do the same meaningless, unenjoyable, boring, dull and hard tasks every day? What are they living for? I have a friend who has a lot of medical problems, and who is not actively pursuing a relationship with Jesus, and my heart just breaks for her. What is there to her life? And I know she is not the only one. What do I say to her? How do Christians give meaning to life?

Well, I'm sure my pastor would have excellent answers to these questions, because he is a brilliant man. My writing teacher asked the question the other day, "If you knew you were going to die tomorrow, what would you do differently today?" Does our average, everyday, ordinary life reflect us living in God's image and establishing his kingdom on earth? I dont mean in some plant 66 churchs in a foreign country kind of way, although that is good, but in a way that is different from non-Christians.

I hope this makes sense, and anything that you want to add, I'd love to hear.

This is from a Rich Mullin's song called, "Hard to Get."

Did you ever know loneliness?
Did you ever know need?
Do you remember just how long a night can get?

Do you remember when you were just barely holding on
And your friends didn't see the blood thats running in your sweat?

Will those who mourn be left uncomforted?
While you're up there, just playing hard to get

Mr. Smith would probably say thats just a list of questions, but it does posses a certain feeling. Of course thats not all of it either, but I think it is very honest. That's how people really feel at times.

More later, -Have a glorious Friday with oodles of fun! (I like that word! oodles! yay!)
