Well, since I’ve out and admitted that I am reading The Purpose Driven Life at my father’s request, what’s left but to blog about it? The thing is, and I guess my dad knows it, is that if you read something, you’re bound to think about it, even just a little. So, occasionally something that Pastor Rick Warren says jumps out at me, like at the end of Day 3: “What would my family and friends say is the driving force of my life? What do I want it to be?
I asked Darlene this question about myself and she responded, “To experience every pleasure possible.” She said this about me! So that I don’t sound like a lone hedonist, she said the same for herself, just not to same degree (!!) Then she encouraged me to ask everybody who knew me well that same question (she specifically named Caryn, my mom, my dad, Chad, Sue… but everybody please feel free.) I like that idea. I think most of the people on that list don’t read my blog and will have to be asked directly – but I am now very intrigued.
What is my driving force? I’m going to have to sit on that one.
And another quote from Pastor Rick I like:
We don’t see things as they are, we see them as we are. -Anais Nin
