Going Bananas

I love Sonic. Their commercials are pretty funny too. Take a look at this parody...



Why are we here? Are we the center of our own universe, or players in a larger picture? If God is indeed our Creator, then I think it is worth considering why He created us. I don't believe everything I see exists for me (although sometimes I act like it does). I believe the Bible when it insists that the world was created by God and for His purpose. This means I can only find my life's fullest meaning when I find my part in God's plan. That's the journey I'm on now. The cool thing is that God wants me to play my part. In fact, He makes it possible.

Where will I be in 24 hours? (watch the video) Hopefully where God wants me. Will I be there? Now that's the real question.

What about you? Does all this talk about purpose have you going bananas?
